Rain postpones Pilot Pen matches to Monday
Tennis newsCBSSports.com w Rain has suspended play at the Pilot Pen tennis tournament, pushing Sundays scheduled matches to Monday.
Several qualifying matches began indoors at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center on the campus of Yale University after overnight rain, and another storm moved through in the afternoon, forcing the suspension of some first-round mens and womens matches and the postponement of others.
Play will commence Monday morning, but without two players. American Mardy Fish, who lost to Roger Federer in the final of the Cincinnati Masters earlier Sunday, withdrew citing fatigue.
Also withdrawing was Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia, who was scheduled to face American Melanie Oudin in the first round of the womens tournament. Pavlyuchenkova cited a hip injury in her withdrawal.
