We told you about it this morning, now we offer you videos of the absurd conditions and the problems that the tennis players are facing at the WTA Finals in Cancun. Yesterday’s match between Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina was interrupted and postponed to the next day (today) due to the prohibitive conditions on the pitch, which made it practically impossible to continue the match.
6-2, 3-5 the score with the Kazakh who will immediately be able to take advantage of the opportunity to serve to extend the match to the third. Between the strong wind and the rain, the two tennis players found themselves in great difficulty.
In the first set the 24 year old couldn’t serve and, embarrassed by the situation, she tried to get support from the crowd. The competition was stopped at 5 different times, before a definitive shift to Friday’s program together with the other two races, hoping for better weather around the city of Cancún.
Below you can watch what happened and documented on social media by The Tennis Letter through a series of Tweets.
Elena Rybakina throws up the ball, but the wind has a mind of its own.
Elena smiles.
The crowd cheers for…
