Rain slows Djokovic as play suspended at Indian Wells
INDIAN WELLS, United States, March 12, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – World number one
Novak Djokovic’s third-round match against Philipp Kohlschreiber was halted
by rain Monday with just one game completed.
Djokovic, playing his first tournament since claiming a record seventh
Australian Open title, held serve to open against the 39th-ranked German, who
had fought off a pair of break points and held the advantage when play was
halted as rain swept across the California desert.
With rain still falling an hour later, organizers said play was suspended
for the night, with the match to resume on Tuesday.
