What’s the one thing you can count on when you’ve got an spring outdoor tournament in the southeastern United States? Rain and stormy weather. That’s just what the Volvo Car Open in Charleston experienced on Saturday, pushing the remainder of the first semifinal and the entire second semifinal to Sunday. Weather (pardon the pun) they liked it or not, the remaining players were in for some double-duty.
In the completion of the first semi, No.5 seed Julia Goerges pushed past No.8 seed Anastasija Sevastova 7-6(5) 6-3. The match had been suspended Saturday at 4-4, and it took just 25 minutes to complete once play was resumed.
