[ti-amie]

Play has resumed and Ons held for 4-5 first set.

[JTContinental]

The way the ball is bouncing on this court after the rain is insane

[ti-amie]

That Ons who has dominated the match since they returned from the rain delay was broken serving for the match is insane.

[ti-amie]

Ons takes it in straight sets 7-5, 7-5

Wait it's been raining the entire match and now, in the middle of the second set tie break, they suspend the match? This is Ons right now.

I think the rain started to come down a bit harder... plus, with the mist that's been falling the entire match, the surface does get more and more wet and 'clumpy', which can be dangerous.

Okay

The rain is supposed to stop tomorrow morning, so it should be fine weather-wise to get everything in.
If the doubles can't start at 11am, it should be able to start within an hour or so of 11am.

Jabeur and Kasatkina are both artists with the ball.. fun to watch both of them... though, of course, I can only see highlights on Youtube.

A close match. Must have been hard trying to put any power on that ball. It is one thing that is not good about Har Tru: it absorbs moisture like crazy.

[Owendonovan]

What is a suitable amount of rest if say, Pegula takes the second and then she and Bencic grind out a 1hr 20 min. 3rd set tiebreak?

[ponchi101]

Play it tomorrow. Nobody has to be anywhere else, anyway.
(I don't know where and when the BJK starts).
