Drama Unfolds at Miami Open: Monfils-Korda Match Halted Due to Darkness!
In a dramatic twist at the Miami Open, play was unexpectedly halted during a gripping round-of-16 clash between France’s Gael Monfils and America’s rising star, Sebastian Korda. The tension mounted as ominous clouds rolled over Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, casting a shadow over the electrifying match, which was tied at 1-1 in the decisive third set.
As visibility plummeted, Monfils made a crucial request for the stadium lights to be activated. The unique setup of the tennis court, nestled within the larger Hard Rock Stadium, meant that the towering stands blocked the dwindling natural light, creating a near-impossible playing condition.
However, the anticipation was prolonged as the umpire announced it would take over 10 minutes for the lights to illuminate the court. Both Monfils and Korda were left in suspense, waiting under the darkening sky for the match to resume.
This unexpected interruption adds an intriguing layer to what was already a highly anticipated match, as spectators and players alike eagerly awaited the resumption of play.
