The bone-chilling weather in Texas over the last 4-5 days hit the WTA event in Austin on Saturday. First it delayed the start of qualifying play for a couple of hours; then, it cancelled it altogether. There were also rain issues.

So the winners had to play again on Sunday to make the main draw.

The high in Austin on Sunday is expected to be 16C, which is a whole lot better. And through the week it will mostly be in the low 20s.

In Mérida, the 500 event, there have been no such issues.
