Stan Wawrinka match held up by rain as David Ferrer crashes out
Stan Wawrinka failed to get onto court while David Ferrer failed to get past the first round at the Geneva Open.
Two-time defending champion Wawrinka was due to play the main evening match against Jared Donaldson, but rain forced officials to call an early halt to proceedings and the match has been rescheduled for Wednesday evening.
Two seeds who did make it onto court, Ferrer and fellow Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas, were both beaten.
Fourth seed Ferrer suffered a 6-2, 6-4 defeat at the hands of German Peter Gojowczyk while Marton Fucsovics from Hungary beat fifth seed Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-1, 6-2.
However, sixth-seeded American Steve Johnson advanced as he beat Marius Copil 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 to set up a second-round match against Lukas Rosol, who beat Jiri Vesely 2-6, 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (6-4).
