AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) Heavy rain prevented quarterfinals being played Thursday at the WTA Tour's ASB Tennis Classic.

Organizers will schedule quarterfinals and semifinals on a packed day Friday in a bid to ensure the final goes ahead as planned on Saturday.

Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki was due to play American wildcard entry Sofia Kenin, second-seed Julia Goerges was to face Polona Hercog, third-seeded Barbora Strycova was drawn against Hsieh Su-wei of Taiwan and fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwasnka was scheduled to meet Sachia Vickery in the quarterfinals.

Those matches will now go ahead on Friday morning with semifinal matches to be played in the evening.
