Rainy days and Mondays fail to get Davydenko down

Nikolay Davydenko was probably the only person inside Roland Garros who was delighted to see the rain come lashing down just after 11am on Monday.

The Russian, whose first-round match against Stefano Galvani was first up on Court 1 on the second day, only arrived at the grounds at 10.55, just five minutes before he was scheduled to be on court.
