'Nanmadol' affects Pan Pacific Open

TOKYO: Elise Mertens won the first three games before Typhoon 'Nanmadol' forced the match to be halted, and then won the next three when they resumed in a 6-0, 6-3 victory over Qiang Wang on Monday night at the Pan Pacific Open.

Wang was serving when the rain started, forcing play to be suspended for 45 minutes while the roof at Ariake Coliseum was closed.
