BANGALORE, India (AP) - The start of a WTA Tour event was delayed a day because of a planned strike in the area aimed at shutting down public services and private businesses.
The Ericsson International, already hurt by the withdrawal of Serena Williams, will begin Tuesday. Officials are drawing up a new schedule but hope the tournament will end Feb. 18, as originally planned.
Melanie Heuer, a WTA Tour supervisor, said this was the first time a strike had delayed a tour event.
