The weather dominated Friday’s AVP Gold Series Atlanta Open.
As a result of a long rain and lightning delay, just the first round of play was completed, which will make for a busy Saturday at Atlantic Station. The results and schedule follow.
There was one significant upset when 13th-seeded Tim Brewster and Kyle Friend sent fourth-seeded Taylor Crabb and Taylor Sander to the contenders bracket with a hard-fought 18-21, 22-20, 18-16 victory.
The longest match of the day was eventually won by sixth-seeded Zana Muno and Brandie Wilkerson. They won their first set against Megan Kraft and Emily Stockman 21-18, lost the second 21-19, and then a two-and-a-half-hour delay came. Muno and Wilkerson prevailed in the third 18-16.
Play starts Saturday at 10 a.m. Eastern. Matches can be seen on the AVP YouTube channel.
