Tennis LIVE: Queen's match halted as BBC red-faced with Brit forced off court

0
Harry Wendelken made his ATP Tour debut here at Queen's as a wildcard.

It was an impressive fightback from the 24-year-old in the second set, but he's just lost to Botic van de Zandschulp 6-4 7-6(5).

No more play is needed this week, we've already found the shot of the tournament.

An incredible tweener lob by the man currently leading 6-4 5-5.

Emma Raducanu will lose nearly half of her Queen's prize money, Express Sport has learned.

The Brit, who lost in yesterday's final to Donna Vekic, officially banked £136,210 from her run on home soil.

However, a tax expert has told us that she will lose almost half of her earnings.

We have been stopped for a second time on the main court in west London.

The umpire has told Botic van de Zandschulp to wait before serving as he has spotted a 'technical issue'.

BBC commentators speculated that there may be something wrong with an electronic board.

We are playing again on Andy Murray Arena and the forecast looks pretty good for the rest of the day.

However, I do remember saying that last week before more rain came down...

Harry Wendelken is serving while 4-3 down in the first set.

Fortunately this was only a short shower and we are expecting play to start again shortly.

Harry Wendelken and Botic van de Zandschulp are both back out on court warming up.

Fingers crossed for no more showers...

One to forget for the BBC, who sent out an iPlayer notification at 11.57am, urging fans to come watch Harry Wendelken take on Botic van de Zandschulp.

However, those who tried to tune in found that play had already been stopped...

Action at Queen's was suspended minutes after the ATP Tour got underway.

Briton Harry Wendelken was at 1-1 in the first set against Botic van de Zandschulp when rainfall meant that play had to be stopped.

Players swiftly left the court on Andy Murray Arena and we are awaiting play to resume.

Hello and welcome to Express Sport's live coverage of Queen's, where play has unfortunately been brought to a halt due to rain.

Those who were involved in last week's WTA Tour event will understand that this has been a regular occurrence.
