Matches Delayed Additional TWO HOURS
It is still raining here and the courts are soaked. As a result, we have pushed the start times by a total of three hours (two additional). We will reassess by 11 AM. Draws have been updated.

Saturday Matches Delayed by ONE HOUR!
We suspect it will be a longer delay, but not sure. For now, we at least know that the courts will not be dry enough to start match play at 9 AM tomorrow and we want to let everyone get a little more sleep if they want.
An email will be sent (and text and it will be posted here) by 9 AM if there are any further delays. For now, match times have been updated on the draws.
