Play will resume on Sunday……….
by bahamaderek on Feb.27, 2010, under Mikhail Youzhny, Novak Djokovic
The final of the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships between Novak Djokovic and Mikhail Youzhny will resume on Sunday after rain halted play.
Defending champion Djokovic was leading 7-5 2-0 when rain forced the players off the court for a second time on Saturday.
Play had initially been suspended in the first game of the second set and Djokovic just had time to hold serve and then break his Russian opponent before another downpour.
The Serbian had earlier taken a rollercoaster first set with his third break of serve, and fifth in total, as Youzhny served at 5-6 down.
