–

ADELAIDE, Australia – Bianca Andreescu finally gets her second-round match after waiting for three days in Adelaide.

And it’s a tall order – No. 4 seed Veronika Kudermetova of Russia.

Liudmila Samsonova v Aryna Sabalenka also has some good potential.

In Auckland, which was plagued by rain Tuesday, Leylah Fernandez had a doubleheader and Rebecca Marino was to play her second-round singles match.

As well, there was Venus, and Raducanu.

None of them got on court in the end, as the outdoor matches were cancelled and the rest moved indoors where Fernandez and Mattek-Sands finally got on court.
