Heavy thunderstorms have postponed the WTA 500 Berlin final between Jessica Pegula and Linda Nosková. Organizers cited damage to electrical systems and flooding at Steffi Graf Stadion.
The match was scheduled for 6 p.m. on June 21 but will not start before 4 p.m. due to storms. Tournament officials said significant damage has been caused to the venue’s electrical and power supply systems, with several areas flooded.
Pegula reached the final after defeating Aryna Sabalenka the previous day. The 32-year-old American had been preparing for Wimbledon next week.
The doubles final between Alexandrova and Nosková against Eikeri and Gleason was also suspended at 6-3, 3-3. Weather data showed a 60 percent chance of continued rain and thunderstorms in Berlin.
