After hours of hoping for the weather to improve, the semi-finals started late and were quickly cut short as the rain started to fall again.
The rain has been a spoilsport throughout the week in Barcelona. The organizers had to present the third round matches and the quarter-finals on Friday, in order to make up for the time lost due to the numerous interruptions caused by the rain.
