Cincinnati Open: Rain Delays! Pegula's Match Suspended!

The Cincinnati Open faced significant disruptions due to inclement weather, with Tuesday night's schedule thrown into disarray. Thunderstorms forced the postponement of several high-profile matches, leaving players and fans in suspense.

Pegula vs. Linette Suspended Mid-Match

One of the most anticipated matches of the evening, featuring No. 4 seed Jessica Pegula and No. 31 seed Magda Linette, was halted after two hard-fought sets. Linette clinched the first set in a tiebreak, winning 7-6(5). Pegula retaliated, securing the second set 6-3. However, heavy rain and lightning forced officials to suspend play for the night. The match is scheduled to resume on Wednesday, adding to the already packed schedule.

The Cincinnati Open released an official statement confirming the suspension: “Due to the rain, there will be no further play this evening.”

Other Matches Affected

Besides the Pegula-Linette clash, the third-round match between No. 16 seed Clara Tauson and Veronika Kudermetova was also postponed. Several doubles matches faced a similar fate, leading to a reshuffling of the tournament schedule.

Looking Ahead

Tennis enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the resumption of play on Wednesday. The Linette-Pegula match is slated to resume second on P&G Center Court, following the ATP match between Holger Rune and Frances Tiafoe. Fans can expect a thrilling day of tennis as players battle for a spot in the next round.

• Pegula vs. Linette: Resumes Wednesday on P&G Center Court.
• Tauson vs. Kudermetova: Resumes Wednesday on Court 3.
