After scorching temperatures and a downpour over Melbourne Park, eight matches have been rescheduled to Wednesday.
The scale was introduced in 2019 after players at the Australian Open complained about inconsistent guidelines when competing through excessive heat.
Play on the tournament's stadiums, Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena and John Cain Arena, were able to continue after a brief delay to close the roofs. Players on the 12 ground courts resumed at 5 p.m. local time, but it wasn't for long as a downpour hit Melbourne Park at 7:45 p.m. ET, further suspending 27 matches. After a 90-minute delay, players went back on court to only receive more precipitation moments later.
The schedule shuffling is something Australian Open organizers are very familiar with year after year, but it never becomes easier. This article tagged under:
