Eastbourne Tennis: LTA make finals day decision as rain suspends Humbert vs Bergs

Eastbourne men's singles finalists Ugo Humbert and Zizou Bergs are to resume battle tomorrow as rain stopped play at Devonshire Park.

Humbert and his Belgian opponent Bergs managed just three games before the rain fell on Saturday, with Frenchman Humbert leading 2-1.

Tournament bosses took the decision to cancel the day's play at around 6.30pm.

The women's singles was completed earlier in the day with American Madison Keys winning in straight sets against German Tatjana Maria 7-5 6-4.

The men's final will now be played on Sunday and Wimbledon starts on Monday.

Weirdly, Humbert and Bergs will meet again on Tuesday as they were drawn to play each other in the first round at Wimbledon.

The rain cancelation was a blow for tennis fans and organisers, who prior to today, had enjoyed a week of non-stop baking sunshine which broke temperature records for the Eastbourne tennis tournament.

Gordon Reid takes wheelchair title

Elsewhere at Devonshire Park today, Gordon Reid claimed the WC500 wheelchair men's singles title coming through an all-British final clash with Ben Bartram.

Reid defeated Bartram 6-0, 6-3 to become the second Brit to lift the title after Alfie Hewett in 2024.

World No 2 Diede de Groot won the wheelchair women's singles trophy, beating Li Xiaohui 6-4, 7-5.

Dutch duo Tom Egberink and Maarten Ter Hofte won the men's doubles final 6-2, 6-1 against Zhenxu Ji and Casey Ratzlaff.
