Hurkacz vs. Kokkinakis Montreal match delayed due to rain
Fourth seed Hubert Hurkacz and Thanasi Kokkinakis will have to wait to begin their second-round match at the Omnium Banque National présenté par Rogers, where Thursday rain has delayed the evening session. Play will not resume before 10 p.m. local time.
The 27-year-old Pole and Kokkinakis warmed up for their fourth Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting, but rain fell just as they were about to begin the match. Players briefly waited courtside before heading to the locker room.
Hurkacz, who is set to compete for the first time since knee surgery post-Wimbledon, gave a ballkid an unforgettable memory when he invited him to share an umbrella. The World No. 6 in the PIF ATP Rankings asked the ballkid questions such as, ‘Do you play tennis? Play any tournaments?’
The all-American match between ninth seed Taylor Fritz and Washington champion Sebastian Korda has been moved to Court 5. On Court Rogers, Arthur Rinderknech led Flavio Cobolli 3-0, 15/15 with the Italian serving when play was suspended.
