This year's tournament witnessed the impact of unforeseen weather conditions, which became a major talking point among players and spectators alike. Persistent rain and gusty winds disrupted the tournament schedule, forcing delays and testing the resilience of the athletes. Matches were frequently paused, and some were postponed, leading to packed days for many participants. The unpredictable weather not only challenged the players' physical endurance but also their mental focus, as they had to continuously adapt their strategies to the changing conditions on the court.
Fortunately, on Day 4, only the final match was interrupted by rain, set to resume at 9 am on Friday. The Singles Round 1 & 2 matches delivered unexpected outcomes, with several top-seeded players, such as Jamie Loeb [2] and Sophie Chang [5], being ousted. Even Amelia Honer, who received a wildcard from Sea Colony tournament director Thomas Johnston, succumbed to Akasha Urhobo's prowess. Here are the results of the Singles Round 1 & 2 matches:
