Donna Vekic defeated Marie Bouzkova 7-6, 6-3 in the round of 16 at the HSBC Championships on Friday after the match was suspended for nearly 42 hours due to persistent rain. The grass-court tournament in London has faced major scheduling disruptions since it began, with no courts equipped with roofs. Vekic, a lucky loser, advanced to face Karolina Pliskova in the quarterfinals later the same day.
