    Same question I had and in same boat re: parlay. On the tournament web page it says play will start at 5:30pm, but it earlier had said play will start at 3:30pm. Do these things get cancelled if rain continues for too long?? Don't know

    looks like it was just the DAY SESSION that was rained out. Look like we may see Bartoli-Vesnina night session match

    I have been waiting on Mattek-Sands as well. I'm seeing rain there until Saturday. Tourney will prolly just be a washout.

    Don't get your hopes up guys, it's part of the same rain system that caused the floods in Queensland

    I am seeing partly cloudy so they may get a window. Action is scheduled to start in 9 minutes (6 PM eastern) so we will see if any tennis takes place

    nothing yet. Just pulled up a feed and the court is still soaking wet. Hard to envision any play for at least 2 hours.

    betfair has put the molik game in-play but clearly the court is soaked with probably little scope to play starting anytime soon...

    its hard to tell on the feed if its raining. But right now the ball kids are using squeegees to dry the court. Maybe a good sign

    hmm, not even aussies are stupid enough to dry a court while it's still raining.. so maybe there is hope of play.

    In this technological age, you;d really think that there must be a better way to dry a court than using 10,000 really big white towels. I mean surely, they've been at it so far for at least half an hour and it still looks as wet as it did at the start.

    i hope they have a good towel supply and cleaning contract...

    they are keep trying to dry it with towel which mean it's giving us a hope that there will be a match tonight... but if they cancel the matches tonight, I will be dissapointed....

    players on the court right now for some light hitting. May be 45 minutes or so from tennis. Hopefully the rain holds off

    if everyone´s going to lie down like Molik, the whole thing could be over by tonight

    In Auckland Peng came back a couple of times from first set down, and take the win. She´s basically the WTA archetype...
