Rain scuppers Montreal semis
With just two games of the two semifinals played and poor weather forecast for Sunday the Rogers Cup in Montreal is set for a late finish. Persistent rain allowed only 10 minutes of the semifinal between Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki and Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova to be played.
After six hours of delays, tournament officials finally threw in the soggy towel and rescheduled the semifinals for early on Sunday followed by the final.
However, with the forecast predicting even heavier rain on Sunday, tournament director Eugene Lapierre admitted to the possibility of a Monday finish.
"Radar is not so good; it says 100 per cent chance of rain but it doesn't mean it is going to rain the whole day," Lapierre said. "I've rarely seen days when we could play only two games, I would be very surprised to see that again.
