India, May 16 -- The Coco Gauff vs Elina Svitolina Italian Open final was briefly delayed on Saturday after rain interrupted the start. As per the latest update from Foro Italico's Stadio Centrale, covers are now off and the sun is out. The match could start soon.

Play was suspended during the women's doubles clash between Hunter/Pegula and Andreeva/Shnaider as light rain continued to fall across Rome. Tournament officials are monitoring the conditions, with an estimated delay of around 35 to 50 minutes before action resumes.

However, Gauff received some bad news just before the final.

While fans wait for the final to resume, Gauff's boyfriend Jalen Sera appears to be following the tournament from the US instead of attending in person....
