Monday’s play at the Madrid Open has been cancelled due to a power outage affecting parts of Spain and Portugal. The third-round match between Grigor Dimitrov and Jacob Fearnley was under way and had reached a critical stage when play was suspended. A statement posted on the Madrid Open’s X account read: “For reasons beyond the control of the organisation and in order to guarantee general safety, the nationwide power-cut experienced in Spain on Monday April 28 has forced the cancellation of both the day and night sessions at the Mutua Madrid Open.” An outage spread across Spain and parts of Portugal and France, with work under way to restore power, but the process was expected to be gradual.
