Weather hits Delray final
MIAMI, Feb 5: American top seed James Blake was a set up on third-seeded Belgian Xavier Malisse when the Delray Beach International final was suspended due to rain on Sunday.
Blake won the first set 7-5 and it was 3-3 in the second when officials called the players off.
The match, already interrupted twice by rain, was due to resume at 1000 local time on Monday.
Blake said the delay would affect his plans for travelling to the Czech Republic for a Davis Cup match next week.
“I was supposed to be leaving out of Tampa at noon,” he said. “Now, I have to go back to my hotel and start dealing with the travel agent.”
Blake and Malisse watched the build-up to Super Bowl XLI, also taking place in Florida, to kill time before the decision was made to suspend play for the day.—Reuters
