The Miami Open faced a logistical challenge on Saturday as rain disrupted play, causing a backlog of matches to be rescheduled and played across multiple courts at the Hard Rock Stadium. A total of 25 matches were affected, with seven matches suspended in progress and subsequently carried over to Saturday.
The inclement weather forced a delayed start to proceedings, with play not commencing until 2 pm local time. Despite the setbacks, the tournament organizers managed to navigate through the packed schedule, ensuring that the second round matches for both the men’s bottom half and women’s top half were completed by late evening.
By 8:53 pm, the second round of the men’s bottom half had concluded, setting the stage for the remaining players to progress to the third round. Similarly, the second round matches in the women’s top half were wrapped up by 9:39 pm, paving the way for the victorious players to continue their quest for glory in the upcoming rounds.
With the winners from these grueling second-round battles set to return to the court on Sunday for their third-round contests, the Miami Open promises to deliver high-stakes drama and thrilling matchups as the competition intensifies. As players adapt to the unpredictable conditions and showcase their resilience on the court, tennis fans can expect more exhilarating clashes in the days ahead at this prestigious tournament.
