Rain has interrupted play on the outer courts at the Brisbane International today.
Several qualifying matches were in progress when the rain started, leaving players and fans alike scrambling for shelter.
Earlier this morning all four completed matches went the way of the seeded players.
Third-seeded German Julian Reister defeated Australia’s Miles Armstrong to move into the final round of qualifying. He was later joined by top-seed Belgium’s Xavier Malisse who ended the hopes of another Australian, Matheson Klein, 7-5 6-3.
In other matches, Nick Lindahl overcame Joel Lindner in three sets in an all-Australian affair, while Oleksander Dolgopolov Jnr ended the hopes of experienced Australian Joe Sirianni.
Women’s top seed Kim Clijsters has just begun her match undercover at Pat Rafter Arena against unseeded Italian Tathiana Garbin.
