POSTED: 5:30 pm EDT July 7, 2009

(Sports Network) - Heavy rains stopped play Tuesday at the $500,000 Hall of Fame Tennis Championships before any matches could be completed.

Three matches had started but did not have time to finish. At the time of the stoppage, Sebastian Grosjean was ahead of seventh seed Kevin Jim 6-4, Germany's Philipp Petzschner led Argentina's Horacio Zeballos 6-4, 3-4 and Samuel Groth of Australia was in front of Ricardo Mello of Brazil 7-5, 0-3.

Two-time defending champion Fabrice Santoro was scheduled to play Tuesday but never got started. Top-seeded Mardy Fish withdrew to take Andy Roddick's place on the U.S. Davis Cup team.

The 2009 Newport champion will collect $79,000.
