–

Thursday (Wednesday in normal times) was absolutely LOADED up as all of the seeds swing into action for their second-round matches.

Sinner, Zverev, Rublev, Ruud, Medvedev, Tsitsipas, and so many more.

Many of them went down, too.

By the night session, the start of the awful weather in store for the tournament on Friday started to peek its head. And so eventually the night session was cancelled.

Which is going to make it complicated for Friday. Because it’s going to be tough to get any tennis in at all Friday unless things change overnight.
