A large -scale power failure has completely paralyzed the game at the tennis tournament in Cincinnati.
For 75 minutes, the professionals for the most world ranking Jannik Sinner had to wait for the facility until it could go on, but there were also difficulties after that.
In the duel between the South Tyrolean Sinner and Gabriel Diallo from Canada, the actors were initially flickering LED screens on the edge of the field, then the HAWK Eye system failed. Sinner and Diallo agreed without the technical aid. Five minutes later, an alarm started in the stadium and the game was interrupted for the third time.
“A difficult day”
Sinner prevailed in preparation for the US Open with 6: 2, 7: 6 (8: 6) and won the 23rd success in a series on hard court. After less than two hours, the Wimbledon winner ended the match at the Masters tournament in Ohio ..
“It was a very difficult day in the office”said the Italian: “You have to find the right balance against these strong boards. I sometimes had to fight with that. But I need such hard matches.”
