Rain prevents play at the Rio Olympic Tennis Centre as Murray, Nadal left frustrated

I was a painful night for the surviving big names in Tennis as the like Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and Co were frustrated on Wednesday as rain prevented play at the Olympic Tennis Centre.

Defending champion Murray was scheduled to play Italy’s Fabio Fognini in the last 16, while 2008 winner Rafael Nadal was set to face France’s Gilles Simon.

Also, female Tennis superstar and British number one, Konta saw her quarter-final against Germany’s Angelique Kerber postponed due to the heavy rain in Rio de Janeiro. Konta and Jamie Murray had been due to start their mixed doubles campaign.

We hope the rain give them the chance to start their next round of play as the competition goes down the aisle.
