Officials were left fighting a losing battle after heavy downpours once again forced constant revision of the schedule and players were left kicking their heels for hours on end at the AEGON Classic at Edgbaston Priory Club on Wednesday. However, there was enough time for Maria Sharapova to show ominously good form in her unfinished first-round contest against Bethanie Mattek-Sands, of the United States, and Anne Keothavong set up a clash against China’s Li Na, the top seed, after winning her opening match. There was also controversy surrounding the state of centre court after water seeped under the covers making it unplayable for almost two days. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/tennis/article7147028.ece
