Just passed by the on-site weather forecast team, whose models say the rain will pass about 6:22 p.m ET, so one hour from now exactly.

Bit of a shame for Tara. But hopefully she can pick up where she left off.

Congrats to young Cici Bellis who has romped through to the Final Qualifying Round.

And congrats and commiserations to even younger Anisimova, only 14, who lost her second Q match in a third set tie-break.

Rain has apparently stopped. Matches scheduled 5th (like Laura) will play if they can start by 10.30 pm (local time). So another 80 mins for Cepelova and Kania to get on court and finish their match which is currently 2-1 in the 3rd set.

The match before Laura's has ended so she should be on in 10 mins or so.

The US Open is being shown on Eurosport from 15.30 on Monday.

Laura started by going 2-0 down. She has been getting a very high percentage of 1st serves in but not scoring with them. Meanwhile her opponent was scoring very heavily withy her 1st serve though it took 10 attempts before she scored a point with her 2nd serve. Laura's percentage of wins on 1st serve has been gradually creeping up while her opponents percentage of 1st serves in has been falling. This has allowed Laura to hold on and gradually edge ahead at 5-4* and then 6-4.
