The ZAMG predictions were not sparkling for the first matches of the day, which should have started at 10 a.m. The weather was really good, but in the middle of the afternoon. "Twice the end of the world," is how organizer Alexander Antonitsch described the situation shortly before 4 p.m. Then Dominic Thiem should have played the first game of the second group phase against Jurij Rodionov. After the hail broke out a third time over the federal performance center Südtstadt, live tennis on Wednesday was out of the question.
The organizers wanted to announce the rest of the game schedule during the evening. It can be assumed that the placement games for groups C and D scheduled for Wednesday will be canceled. And that on Thursday, in addition to Thiem, most of the other players will also enter the second tournament phase.
