The semi-finals at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships were pushed back a day after heavy rain wiped out most of play on Saturday.

Following a rain-delayed, 90-minute on-court enshrinement ceremony for the 2013 class of the International Tennis Hall of Fame – which included Martina Hingis – and nearly a two-hour delay, wild card Nicolas Mahut of France and American Michael Russell played three points before rain moved back into the area.

The other semi-final between two-time defending champion John Isner, the No.2 seed, and fourth seed Lleyton Hewitt never got underway. Hewitt called it “a long day” as he departed.

Both semi-finals will be played early Sunday, with Isner and Hewitt on centre court and the other match on a side court.

The final is scheduled for later on Sunday.
