BEIJING, Sept 18: Rain wiped out nearly the whole programme on the first day of the China Open on Monday, depriving Martina Hingis of her first chance of taking centre stage in the Chinese capital.
The 26-year-old Swiss was scheduled to take on China’s Olympic doubles champion Sun Tiantian in the first round of the $600,000 WTA tournament but the wet weather ruled out all but of a couple of hours of play.
In one first round match completed on Monday, Slovakia’s Dominika Cibulkova beat Dane Caroline Wozniacki 6-0, 6-7, 6-1. —Reuters
