Court update

Tournament officials at 4:25 p.m. determined there would be no matches on Stadium Court.
"Our concern remains on the skirt in the southwest corner," said Mark Stenning, CEO of the Hall of Fame. "There's still water coming up when we're standing."
Tournament officials also checked the other two areas where a court can be put down in Stadium Court. "Throughout the day they've been wet, and they remain wetter," said Stenning, who added that play will continue on Court 1 "until 8 o'clock or as late was we can."
No. 3 seed Sam Querrey just won the first set 6-3 against Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo on Court 1. At the conclusion of that match, No. 2 seed and two-time defending champion Fabrice Santoro will face Flavio Cipolla.
The plan is to use three outside courts in addition to the Stadium Court on Thursday.
The first matches on court will be the suspended matches between Kevin Kim and Sebastien Grosjean as well as the one between Ricardo Mello and Samuel Groth.
The remaining three first-round matches will also be played early Thursday, with second-round matches to follow.

Wednesday's tickets will be good for Thursday grounds passes.
