Patience will be the key word when hoping to see tennis in Miami this Friday. From hour to hour, the first rotations of the day are postponed, as the rain intensifies.
On Thursday, several matches had already been interrupted around 5 p.m., like the one between Daniel Altmaier and Harold Mayot. This ultimately only had the effect of postponing the end of the day (the last match between Roman Safiullin and Diego Schwartzman ended at 3:00 a.m. French time).
Rain all day
However, the consequences could this time be a little more annoying depending on the deadlines. In the worst case, the weather forecast predicts rain all day, which could also encroach on tomorrow. A slight lull could occur at 5 p.m. (local time, 10 p.m. in France) but it will remain very overcast.
In 2023, the Houston tournament, which is played just after Miami, forced Frances Tiafoe, winner at home, to play four matches in two days following many days of competition canceled by rain. Fortunately, the timing could be less tight in Miami, thanks to the 12 days of competition in this tournament.
