“Martha spent a fairly busy day, but Elina Svitolina just went to bed earlier”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
“Honestly, a funny story happened to me. There are many different rooms here, and I went to the hall where our dressing rooms are located. I come – and there the screens are turned off, there is no light. I think: why did everything turn off? I want to check the account – the connection does not work. Finally, the scoreboard was downloaded, I look – the matches were interrupted. I cannot understand anything, because I just kneaded, and everything was normal. And when she went into another building and saw a complete darkness there, she realized that the power supply had disappeared.
In fact, the atmosphere is fun here. We sat in a restaurant with candles – it was very romantic. Then they went to the gym, where they just lay and rested. This is a very interesting feeling: you lie down and constantly think that light can turn on at any moment.
The organizers did not explain anything to us, and as I understand, they did not have information themselves. However, the light was not only on the courts – it is a larger situation, and in my opinion, tennis is not the first in the list of priorities for the restoration of power supply.
But I had a very busy day yesterday, so I am even glad that I had a day of rest. Tomorrow, with fresh forces, I will be ready for the match. Of course, if they turn light (laughs). ”
On April 28, the matches in Madrid were canceled and postponed because of the shutdown of light throughout Spain and other European countries at the Madrid tournament in Madrid.
