This is far from the first time matches have been stopped due to weather conditions.
Details: Today in the Turkish city of Samsun, the 1/16 finals of the women's singles at the Samsun Challenger tennis tournament got underway, but just moments into play, three matches had to be halted due to heavy rain.
As a result, the following matches were suspended:
- Cagla Buyukakcay - Emily Appleton.
- Vitalia Diatchenko - Amandine Hesse.
- Carol Young Suh Lee - Kaitlin Quevedo.
At the time of suspension, the score in each match was 0:0, as some pairs hadn't even finished a single set.

It has been reported that play will not resume for at least another hour—and only if the rain subsides and the court is restored to playable condition.
