The Auckland summer has failed to show up to the party for today's ASB Classic final, meaning the singles final between Flavia Pennetta and Jie Zheng could be put off until tomorrow.

With steady rain falling in Auckland, the chances of the final being played today appear slim and an official announcement will be made at 2pm.

It's likely the singles final will be put off until tomorrow but the doubles final, featuring Pennetta and Julia Goerges against Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka, could be played later this afternoon at the indoor Albany Tennis Club on the North Shore.
