Regn stör spelet i Queen’s Club inför Serena Williams comeback

Kraftigt regn stoppade flera matcher i HSBC Championships den 9 juni på Queen’s Club i västra London, vilket skapade osäkerhet kring Serena Williams planerade dubbelcomeback senare samma dag.

Ihållande skyfall tvingade spelarna av banorna, däribland Iva Jovic och Antonia Ružić på bana 5, där Jovic ledde med 1–0. Emma Raducanus match mot Anna Blinkova avbröts efter att hon tagit ledningen med 3–0 i det första setet. Sorana Cîrstea och Maddison Inglis avbröt också sitt spel på bana 1. Katie Boulters öppningsmatch mot Leylah Fernandez förblev oavslutad, med Fernandez i ledning med 6–3, 3–3 i det andra setet. Arrangörerna planerade att återuppta den matchen den 10 juni efter att Raducanus match avslutats. Serena Williams dubbelcomeback var schemalagd som dagens sista match på Andy Murray Arena. Turneringspersonal täckte banorna under ett nästan 30 minuter långt avbrott när regnet tilltog. Prognoserna hade endast indikerat en nederbördsrisk på 25 procent.
