On Monday, April 28, all matches from the fourth round of the WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid were scheduled. However, only two matches were eventually played. The match between Iga Świątek and Diana Schneider was supposed to start around 1:00 PM.
However, first, the match between Grigor Dimitrov and Jacob Fearnley had to finish. This match was interrupted at a score of 6:4, 5:4 due to power issues.
However, the problems did not concern the Caja Magica stadium. Spanish portals reported that there was a blackout throughout the country, as well as parts of Portugal and France. According to the energy provider Red Electrica, power restoration could take 6-10 hours.
As a result, it became clear that the Świątek match would be delayed and, in the worst case, might not take place on Monday. The organizers have already issued a statement canceling all matches in both the men's and women's tournaments scheduled for April 28.
"Due to reasons beyond the control of the organizers and to ensure general safety, the nationwide power outage in Spain on Monday, April 28, forced the cancellation of both the Mutua Madrid Open's day and night sessions," as stated in the official communication.
Therefore, the Świątek match will take place on Tuesday, April 29, starting at 12:00.
