NAPLES, Apr 4 (AFP): Rain in Naples has delayed the start of the Davis Cup quarter-final between hosts Italy and Britain, organisers announced on Friday.
The weather conditions in the normally balmy southern city meant the opening ceremony was cancelled and the opening rubber between Italian number one Fabio Fognini and Britain's James Ward was postponed until further notice.
The developments, however, should play into the hands of Britain.
British number one and two-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray has been suffering from sickness and is due to play world number 34 Andreas Seppi on Friday afternoon.
