Major concern over remainder of Canadian Open Montreal with play delayed and rain forecast
Tennis News
While the Canadian Open over on the men's side in Toronto seems to be ticking over fine, there are major worries about the conclusion of the women's tournament in the coming days.
While Jessica Pegula got through her tie at Omnique Banque Nationale (National Bank Open), she could be the only one to do so tonight if weather forecasts are to be believed.
Iga Swiatek and Karolina Muchova were locked into a final set battle after two lopsided sets and Marie Bouzkova - Daria Kasatkina was dragged off also with the latter leading by a set.
Still tonight are Marketa Vondrousova - Coco Gauff, Sloane Stephens - Elena Rybakina as well as a trio in the early hours. These being Leylah Fernandez - Danielle Collins, Petra Kvitova - Belinda Bencic and Liudmila Samsonova - Aryna Sabalenka.
Play has continuously been knocked back and live court images which were shared by Jose Morgado with the caption of 'don't expect tennis to be played in Montreal anytime soon' showed a sodden Centre Court.
The replies didn't make for good reading either with one user showing a weather map with a huge amount of rain west to east all night and Ottawa (near Montreal) having severe flooding.
Others also said that it is due to rain for the next three days and it is definitely over for the day no matter what. This will mean that if it does restart, multiple matches in a day will be needed and with Cincinnati next week also, it begs the question of whether it can be completed.
Interesting few days ahead in Montreal, but for tonight barring a difference in the weather forecast, it looks unlikely that play will resume.
