–

Rain for the last three days has played havoc with the schedule – which, luckily (THIS TIME) is an extended, two-week slog.

They even had to move four singles matches indoors on Tuesday.

On the bright side, the forecast looks very good the rest of the week. So they may well have weathered the storm.

But they still have some catching up to do, at least on the doubles side (which hasn’t yet begun).
