Still raining and we're now an hour from the scheduled start. It might not start on time (it's still raining), but the weather looks clear from about 1:15pm onwards, so they should be able to get it in, even with the men's match scheduled to start at 3pm. You dry the courts, you play singles first, and you play to clinch, and this thing can be over in under an hour.
Squeegees are out! Hope lives!
The men's team tweeted that they still were doing everything they could to start on time at 3:00pm, which is aggressive if they're still going to try and get the women's match in. With the sun coming out, the stadium courts are nearly playable, and the back courts are getting closer. The men could always play doubles (either at Taube South or on the other four back courts--we do have 17 excellent courts, for pete's sake) while the women are still playing singles. Then the men can move over and play singles on the usual courts.
Heck, you could start warming up on Court 1 right now if you needed to. The rest still need more drying, but the playing surface of 1 looks good, at least (if not the entire area around it).
Looks like the men are set to warm up on 1 for their match in 50 minutes, but no sign of the women. Courts 2, 3, and 5 look playable now, too.
