Fed Cup: play washed out

SAN DIEGO: Steady rain washed out Sunday’s matches in the Fed Cup quarterfinal between Germany and the United States, forcing the organisers to postpone the matches to the next day. The match is tied 1-1.

Officials waited four hours past the scheduled starting time before calling it a day. The rain relented for about an hour and workers attempted to dry the court at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. However, it started pouring again and the match was postponed.
