Djokovic Made To Wait By Eastbourne Rain

Jun272017

Organisers forced to postpone 12 singles and doubles matches on day two

Heavy rain at Devonshire Park in Eastbourne, venue of the Aegon International, meant that fans could only watch under 10 minutes of play on Tuesday.

Vasek Pospisil was serving at 0-1, 15/30 against World No. 4 Novak Djokovic when rain began to fall at 11:22 a.m. local time. Top seed Djokovic is competing at a grass-court event prior to Wimbledon for the first time since the 2010 Aegon Championships.

Day 2 of Wimbledon qualifying was also a washout, with none of the second-round qualifying matches on Tuesday making it on court due to ongoing showers.

All of these matches will take place on Wednesday, with eight #NextGenATP players scheduled to bid for a place in the final round of qualifying. View the full order of play here.
