Giron beats rain but Shelton forced to wait in delayed Auckland ATP
quarterfinals
AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) --- Top-seeded Ben Shelton was a set down to
seventh-seeded Sebastian Baez when their quarterfinal at the ASB Classic was
suspended because of rain on Thursday.
The first quarterfinal won by Marcos Giron over third-seeded Luciano Darderi
1-6, 7-5, 6-4 took more than seven hours to complete because of repeated rain
breaks.
Eighth-ranked Shelton and 39th-ranked Baez finally took the court at the start
of the scheduled night session and Baez led 6-4, 0-1 when a thunderstorm
brought torrential rain which caused play to be suspended for the day. The
match will be completed in an extended session on Friday when fine weather is
forecast. The winner will have to also play a semifinal on the same day.
