Outcome uncertain for Czechs in Wimbledon women's doubles as games suspended due to rain

Czech Marie Bouzková lost her doubles match with Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo 6-3, 6-4 against the French duo of Kristina Mladenovic and Caroline Garcia at Wimbledon on Friday. Whether her compatriots Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková will advance to the next round is uncertain as their matches, also scheduled for Friday, were both suspended partway through due to rain.

Krejčíková and her German partner Laura Siegemund were a game away from victory when the weather put a stop to play, leading 7-6(1), 5-4 against the British pair Eden Silva and Samantha Murray Sharan. Meanwhile, Krejčíková's former doubles partner Kateřina Siniaková's match with the American Taylor Townsend had barely got off the ground before it was suspended due to the bad weather. Still only in the first set, Siniaková and Townsend were however leading over the Australian Olivia Gadecki and the French Elixane Lechemia 2-1.
