Rain washed out Roland Garros' remaining quarterfinals today and with more rain forecast for Friday, tournament director Guy Forget said it's possible finals could be rescheduled.
In a worst-case scenario, Forget said it's possible the women's final could be rescheduled for Sunday to provide adequate rest for players rather than forcing a finalist to play three days in a row.

Johanna Konta will face 19-year-old Czech Marketa Vondrousova in one semifinal.
Reigning champion Simona Halep will face 17-year-old American Amanda Anisimova in tomorrow's quarterfinal on Court Philippe Chatrier, while eighth-seeded Ashleigh Barty plays 2018 semifinalist Madison Keys in tomorrow's quarterfinal on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
Forget said moving either the ladies' or men's final is not the tournament's preferred option, but noted officials want to provide players proper rest before the French Open final.
"That's not what we want to do. But as you said, some girls might be playing three days in a row," Forget said. "First of all, it's a very difficult task for one or two of them. Most of these girls have been waiting all of their lives to play such a big match, and to actually be playing a match of that magnitude with already two matches in their legs is a difficult task.
"If we have to move the final the following day, you know, it's something that could happen. You know, we have done it with the men's, if you remember, with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. It's not what we hope, but if we have no other choice, then that's what we will do. And with the women's, exact same thing.
"Hopefully we'll be able to conclude the women on time and we keep our fingers crossed that we might play through the drops, especially on Friday."
Fans who purchased tickets for today's rained-out quarterfinal session can visit the Roland Garros website for a full refund. Additionally, Forget said ticket holders for today's washed-out session can also use their ticket to get on the grounds on Thursday.
"Of course all the people that had tickets, any ticket, will be reimbursed today," Forget said. "They can apply on the website to get their money back. On top of that, with their ticket, if they want, they can come back tomorrow and have free access to the grounds and to wherever we will be playing, wherever we have seats available, especially on the other courts."
Given the dreary Friday forecast, Forget said the tournament is considering all options.
"The schedule of the bad weather on Friday we know is a possibility," Forget said. "I just left the room to see the different options that we have. None of them are ideal, because, you know, we have the ladies' and the men's to be played. We could technically play on two courts, on three courts, but at one point it's a call we're going to have to make."
