Rain halted quarterfinal play Friday at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships. Wesley Moodie led Michal Mertinak 5-4 in the first set when drizzle suspended the match.

The start was delayed for more than 4 hours, then halted for good after 26 minutes of play.

The match between defending champion Greg Rusedski and Antony Dupuis never got started. Play was scheduled to resume Saturday at 10 a.m.

Moodie, aiming for his first ATP title, reached his first semifinal at Delray Beach earlier this year. Rusedski is seeking his third ATP title in Newport.

The Hall of Fame Tennis Championships is held in conjunction with induction ceremonies. Jim Courier, Jana Novotna, Yannick Noah and Butch Buchholz will be enshrined on Saturday.
