Persistent rain threatened to wash out play at the $1.1 million China Open on Thursday.

Play was scheduled to start at 1pm (0500 GMT) but no second round matches had been started by 5pm because of bad weather in Beijing.

Top seed Rafael Nadal of Spain was scheduled to play in the evening session with second-seeded Argentine Guillermo Coria set to appear in Thursday's third match on center court.

Tournament organizers said they would make a decision later in the day as to whether any play would be possible.
