Jessica Pegula's all-American Berlin Open semi-final clash with Coco Gauff has been suspended overnight, as the duo vie for a spot in the final against Anna Kalinskaya.
Pegula led Gauff 7-5 6-6 (3-1) when rain in the German capital halted play on Saturday, with a later announcement confirming the match will not resume until Sunday.
Both players had already taken to the court once on Saturday, as Gauff's last-eight opponent Ons Jabeur retired due to illness after losing a 68-minute opening set 7-6 (11-9).
Pegula, meanwhile, wrapped up a two-day quarter-final victory over Katerina Siniakova by a 7-6 (7-2) 3-6 6-3 scoreline.
The winner of the pair's match will also have to play twice on Sunday, with Kalinskaya lying in wait in the final after she beat former world number one Victoria Azarenka 6-1 6-7 (3-7) 6-1.
Data Debrief: Kalinskaya primed for an upset?
Whoever emerges victorious on Sunday morning, Kalinskaya will face a top-five player, with Gauff currently second in the world rankings and Pegula fifth.
Kalinskaya has already recorded three top-five victories this year. She lost her only previous meeting with Pegula in Washington D.C. in 2019 but won her first clash with Gauff in Dubai earlier this year.
Murray brothers receive Wimbledon doubles wildcard but Andy 'unlikely' to play singles
Andy Murray is pushing to feature at Wimbledon, where he will play alongside his brother Jamie in the doubles should he be fit.
The All England Club confirmed on Thursday that 37-year-old Murray, who is hoping to feature at Wimbledon for what seems likely to be the final time in his illustrious career, had received a wildcard to team up with his younger sibling in the men's doubles.
Murray had a procedure on a back injury last weekend, but is now back in training.
The former world number one and two-time Wimbledon champion said he will wait as long as possible to make a decision on his participation in the singles event.
"I'm going to wait until the last minute to see if I'm going to be able to play and I've earned that right to do that," he said.
"This is not clear-cut where I am 100% going to be ready to play or there is a 0% chance that I can play. That is the situation.
"I would say it's probably more likely that I'm not able to play singles right now.
"Maybe it's my ego getting in the way but I feel that I deserve the opportunity to give it until the very last moment to make that decision.
"It's complicated, and it's made more complicated because I want to play at Wimbledon one more time.
"I want to have that opportunity to play [in] the tournament."
Murray is planning to retire later this year, as is another modern great, Rafael Nadal, who will skip Wimbledon in order to focus on preparing for the Olympics, where he will team up with Carlos Alcaraz to represent Spain.
Novak Djokovic has been nursing an injury, but should be fit to feature at the British grand slam.
