Australian doubles pair Lleyton Hewitt and Chris Guccione will strive to seal the Davis Cup tie in Geelong today, weather permitting.

With heavy downpours overnight, the grass courts at the Geelong Lawn Tennis Club have also been sealed with thick plastic covers and will be ready for play on Saturday afternoon.

Australia currently leads China in the Asia Oceania zone one tie 2-0 following Lleyton Hewitt and Bernard Tomic’s straight sets singles victories on Friday over Zhang Ze and Wu Di respectively.

Hewitt and Guccione are scheduled to play Zhang Ze and Li Zhe from 12.30 pm, however light rain is expected to delay the match.
