Serbia Open: Day 1

Rain caused delays at the Serbia Open. Only three of the four qualifying matches completed and one singles match got under way. The wet conditions also caused delay of the opening day ceremony, which was postponed for tomorrow. Novak Djokovic did put in an appearance late in the evening to cheer up disappointed fans.
