Birmingham, Birmingham, West Midlands, UK, 17 June 2016 | tennis.com.au

Inclement weather continues to derail Daria Gavrilova’s Birmingham campaign.

The Victorian world No.50 was leading reigning Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber 6-5 in the opening set of their second round match when play was abandoned.

The pair will resume their match tonight.

The winner will then have to return later in the day for a quarterfinal match.

Their quarterfinal opponent will be either German Andrea Petkovic or Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro. Petkovic will resume their second round match leading the sixth seed 6-4 6-all.
