It said on the tournament website not long ago that matches are suspended due to bad weather. Not sure why they've taken the Blake-Malisse match off the scoreboard though.

Beeb reporting that the match has been postponed until "1500 GMT local time"!!!
ATP OOP says match starts at 1000 Local Time which I prseume is 1500 GMT. Once again the doubles to follow after. Let's hope the tension of rain delays has mucked up Malisse but that he still manages to force a full 1 1/2 sets today so he's nice and tired before his doubles (oh and that he loses too, of course!).
Beeb article seems to think that playing on Monday rather than flying out to Davis Cup will muck up Blake's 'plans for Davis Cup this Week' they don't play till Friday right?
If Aucks starts at 11:15 then i'll be able to follow the whole thing (unless it lasts more than two hours), if not I'll be reading about it later.

they have begun and Malisse is playing beautifully into our hands (*evil cackle*) and is currently serving for the second set, now if Blake could just take the last set on a tiebreak and our plan will be going perfectly!
And yep, Malisse takes the second, a third it is!

Yeah Malisse has a matchpoint as I type. And even more worrying is that according to the ATP Malisse has happy memories of 'doing the double' after winning both singles and doubles in Chennai (?? one of the tournaments before the Aussie anyway) earlier this year.
Make that he's won the match.
So, 20mins for the presentation, 20mins for the warm up and how long for Malisse to rest in between? My guess, the dubs will start in about 45-60mins.
