Matches
editHeavy rain disrupted the series' original schedule. At various intervals on the opening day, rain drenched the open-court facility, leaving puddles and requiring extensive mop-up operations. This resulted in the final Round 1 match been postponed. All the original Round 2 and Round 7 matches were also postponed. Not all these were successfully rescheduled. The original schedule featured 45 matches, however only 41 were eventually completed.[1][2][9]
