Rain causes more difficulties for Czech tennis players at Wimbledon

On Sunday rain once again caused difficulties for Czech tennis players at Wimbledon.

Kateřina Siniaková and her US partner Taylor Townsend's round of 16 match against Canada's Leylah Annie Fernandez and Japan's Ena Shibahara was postponed several times from its original start time in the early afternoon. Meanwhile Barbora Krejčíková and her German doubles partner Laura Siegemund's second-round match against the American duo of Alycia Parks and Hailey Baptiste was suspended during the second set due to the inclement weather. However, at the time the match was put on hold, Krejčíková and Siegemund were leading 6-3, 3-2.

On Monday, Krejčíková will face the American Danielle Collins in the women's singles round of 16 to fight for a place in the quarterfinals.
