Rain continues to disrupt the schedule in Guadalajara, Mertens-Jacquemot match affected

Indeed, the major player at the WTA 500 tournament in Guadalajara isn't a player, but rather the capricious weather, with rain making a daily appearance in the Mexican city.

While delays had already occurred the previous day, the schedule for Wednesday, September 10, could not be completed during the night session. Top seed Elise Mertens was making her debut against Elsa Jacquemot in the round of 16.

But the two players will have to return on Thursday to finish their match. At the time of the interruption, Mertens had won the first set 6-4, but the Frenchwoman had responded well by starting the second set strongly (3 games to 2, no break for Jacquemot).

Another consequence, the last match scheduled to take place on the Central Court in Guadalajara between second seed Veronika Kudermetova and Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva has been postponed to Thursday.
