SUNDAY WEATHER UPDATE - POSTED AT 9:30 A.M.
The rain has totally stopped but since there is no sun, it's going to take a while for the courts to dry. We are hopeful that the courts will dry by 12 p.m. First of all, doubles will be played after singles today. I will post doubles times after we start singles. We are on an official 3-hour rain delay from your posted match time. I will update you again at 10:30 a.m. to let you know if the courts will dry in time or if there is a further delay.
