The rain just ended so the courts are wet. The good news is no more rain for rest of the day and the wind will help dry the courts. 1 Hour rain delay from the times posted on the draw sheets.

10:00 AM Update - Mist continues - No matches before 2 PM
Patches of very light rain and mist continue which has prevented any drying of the courts. We will not begin before 2 PM today. Only the first round of main draw will take the courts today. If you have a bye in the first round you will not play today. Match times have been updated on the draws.

The courts are wet and there
is currently a light mist falling. The weather forecast doesn't show any
more rain for several hours, but the humidity is expected to be 98%
or higher for the next four hours preventing any drying action. We will not start play prior to 10 AM. I will
be rescheduling Saturday matches using a short set format. Matches originally scheduled for 8 AM should
expect to start at 10 AM. All other
match times will be adjusted based on the new format so please check back to
get your new match time.
