He Mutua Madrid Open It starts this week in the Spanish capital, Madrid, where the great stars of the racket will meet to fight for the title and 1,000 points in the classification. Although it is common for the weather to be good on these dates, The forecast indicates a high probability of rain…nothing that the management of the highest category tournament held in Spain annually should fear.
As a general rule, rainfall has almost always affected the tournament, but it is true that rain is one of the meteorological phenomena that frequently they can stop the celebration of matches. Thus, this week the alerts have gone off in Madrid, where rain is expected especially on this Saturday.
Rain is the worst enemy of tournaments, but the Caja Mágica pavilion has an added advantage over most tournaments in its category: the possibility of closing the roof of its three main courts.
And, although a light rain is not enough to stop a match on a clay court, since the clay absorbs water well, a torrential rain can turn the court into an impassable mud. In the case of the Mutua Madrid Open, all outdoor court matches should be suspended, but those of the three main stages, no.
According to the regulations, the conditions of all tracks must be as similar as possible, so usually The three large courts of the Caja Mágica have an open roof to match those outside.. However, the rule does allow the roof to be closed in the middle of a game when rain threatens to stop the day completely.
Thus, unlike many tournaments, in Madrid you can always follow indoor tennis so that there are not too many imbalances in planning.
