The explosion came. Tremendous scare. This Friday, the quarterfinals of the Challenger in Santo Domingo had to be suspended due to a strong storm that broke out on the fields of the Costa Rican tournament. Daniel Galán was up on the scoreboard, against the Argentine Thiago Tirante, when the alarms sounded.
Galán was in a good position in the first set, as he was winning it 3-2 and was approaching a break that would leave him one set away from advancing to the semifinals.
When the 21-year-old Argentine player was about to execute his service, with the score 0-15 against him, a loud thunder fell that scared more than one.
The one who got the worst scare was the Colombian, who jumped as soon as the deafening roar sounded on the American Oatmeal Court.
The game will resume, although the time of the restart of the duel is still unknown.
It should be noted that both intersect with Tirante. His most significant precedent occurred on November 29, 2020, when they met in the final of the Lima Challenger. On that occasion, the one who took the victory and the trophy was the national tennis player, who won 6-1, 3-6 and 6-3.
