Severe Weather Disrupts Cincinnati Masters
Carlos Alcaraz has faced significant disruptions in his return to the ATP Tour after securing silver at the Paris Olympics. The Cincinnati Masters 1000 tournament does not feature a retractable roof, resulting in extensive delays triggered by rainfall. With a tight schedule following the Olympics, players, including Alcaraz, find themselves under pressure.
Match Cancelations and Reschedules
- Alcaraz's match against Gael Monfils was suspended while he led 6-4, 6-6.
- Rain delays led to the cancellation of the match at 10 PM local time.
- Should the weather remain poor, Alcaraz must play multiple matches on Friday.
In order to advance in a tournament where he was a finalist in 2023, Alcaraz now faces a daunting Friday schedule, including a match with the dangerous Holger Rune.
