Retrieved 25 August 2017. The tournament was delayed because the rain interrupted play on Thursday and forced a suspension of all matches, interrupting the normal course of the tournament. 'It was so hard to all players with so many matches in a row that we had to play', Seles said after her crowning. 'Everybody had to play two matches in a single day. I thought that we'd never finish this tournament', she added.
