The unusual fact that left the suspension of the day in Rome

the rains torment al Rome Masters 1000 2023, leaving a very small margin to complete all the games that were suspended on this Saturday, May 13. To make matters worse, the postponement of the meetings left an unusual fact.

However, in the men’s team, the reality is completely different: while there are women who have already played four games, there are still five members of the main draw from the ATP who did not make their debut: Daniil Medvedev (3rd), Taylor Fritz (9th), Lorenzo Musetti (19th), Alexander Zverev (22nd) and Roberto Bautista Agut (25th).

These differences are due to the fact that the women’s action on the day of the date managed to culminate almost entirely with their respective matches (only two matches remained to be played), despite the fact that the day in Rome was also delayed early in the morning due to rain. Contrary to men’s tennis, which still had several matches in play (Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Nuno Borges, Jiri Lehecka vs. Fábián Marozsán and Frances Tiafoe vs. Daniel Altmaier) and five without starting.
