Rain in Rome today.

[Sallydaisy]

They have eventually got under way in Rome but the forecast for the next few days is iffy.

Dan is in a TB for the 1st set with RCB and the Spaniard is up 4-1

[Jane]

:sad: First set to the Spaniard

[Hawkeye]

Dan levels it up. 2 sets took 10 minutes short of 3 hours.

[exislander]

Dan lost 4-6 in 3rd set.

[cazza99]

oop for Tuesday - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/rome/416/daily-schedule

Cameron vs Nole first up on Centre at 10.00 am.

Some matches did not get completed today due to rain so a busier schedule tomorrow.

[Sallydaisy]

Jamie Murray and Michael Venus got a walkover as Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev withdrew - that's why they didn't play today and were already scheduled to play Robin Haase and Botic van de Zandschulp tomorrow.

[exislander]

I guess Murray/Venus could have played twice today but Rublev was playing singles today and again tomorrow - it is awkward when the doubles is backed up with rain delays.
