Rain began to affect the Wimbledon program, with only three days of play left. On Tuesday there were sixteen games left unfinished. Half, due to lack of natural light. The rest were canceled in the afternoon with the expectation that the delay would be significant due to delays caused by the weather.
In total, nine men’s and seven women’s, which were postponed to Wednesday, the day when rain delayed the start of the matches, which also caused several stoppages.
The situation was resolved as the afternoon progressed, but there was no time to complete the designed order of play normally. Among the victims, the tennis players who returned home (the majority lived in neighborhoods and not in hotels) without playing, were the Spanish. Paula Badosa.
At half past six in the afternoon, local time, the announcement came about the cancellation of individual events. Paula Badosa-Brenda Fruhvirtova and Daria Kasatkina-Yuriko Lily Miyazaki. At the same time, because the winners will meet in the third round, which will have to double on Thursday and Friday, breaking the rhythm of the match break that they value so much during the Grand Slams.
For Badosa, a mystery given his permanent state of alert with a lower back that would surely appreciate the heat over the rain.
Two other female singles were previously shelved: Yafan Wang-Madison Keys and Marta Kostyuk-Daria Saville. In addition to a good number of doubles, a modality that no longer covers Badass since he was dropped from the squad due to a shoulder injury to his teammate, the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka.
The possibility of more meetings not being concluded this Wednesday remained open.
No problem for those who have matches on center court or court 1, both have retractable roofs which are a blessing against the rain.
