The ATP Finals are in full swing and two more tasty fixtures are set to be played out later today (Thursday). Alexander Zverev beat Casper Ruud last night, with Carlos Alcaraz defying his recent bout of illness to defeat Andrey Rublev in straight sets.
Taylor Fritz, Alex de Minaur, Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev are the next players in action, with fans in Turin gripped by tense battles between the top players on tour.
While the ATP Finals is proceeding as planned, the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Malaga has been delayed by severe weather which has affected the players as well as the schedule.
BJK Cup chaos stings player
Taylor Townsend revealed that her hotel room “flooded” after severe weather postponed play at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals.
Teams were unable to practice on Tuesday, forcing Townsend, who will represent team USA when they take on Slovakia, to entertain herself in her hotel room.
But it didn’t go as planned when water started streaming in from outside. The recent WTA Finals runner-up in doubles took to Instagram to share a video of the incident.
Torrential rain could be seen outside on the balcony as the water flowed in from underneath the door.
“Holy s*** so we’re here in Malaga for BJK [Cup] and it’s – the water is coming through the room,” the doubles world No. 5 exclaimed.
“The city centre is flooding but like, what the? My room is flooding.”
