Goerges, Han delayed by rain in Bogota

BOGOTA, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- The fate of top-seeded Julia Goerges will have to wait a day after rain washed out her second-round match against Han Xinyun at the Copa Colsanitas in Bogota.

Germany's Goerges won the opening set 7-5, dropped the middle frame 3-6 and was trailing China's Han 4-5 in the third set when rain halted play. The pair had been on the court for 2 hours, 19 minutes before the delay.
