Rain Delays Start of WTA 250 Chennai Open, Matches Rescheduled to Tuesday
Persistent rain and severe cyclonic storm Murasu caused a complete washout of the opening day of the WTA 250 Chennai Open, delaying all scheduled matches. The tournament, held amid Chennai's northeast monsoon, faced unplayable courts and an orange alert from the India Meteorological Department. Organizers, including WTA supervisor Sheetal Iyer and Tournament Director Hiten Joshi, rescheduled all 16 first-round singles matches for Tuesday, with limited options due to weather and WTA scheduling constraints.
