The Miami Open, one of the most anticipated tournaments of the year, got off to a flying start. However, as it seems, things have slowly and steadily started to turn against the organizers of this huge event. Just a day before, the matches had to be suspended after rain spoiled the day after multiple delays.

However, on the next day, the players came out and hoped to compete in their match and lay their hands on winning. But the extreme weather conditions made it difficult for them to cope with the weather. Stefanos Tsitsipas, who played against  Denis Shapovalov, had to suffer an unexpected defeat at the event. In a match that ended in a 6-2, 6-4 defeat for the Greek sensation, he was seen struggling with the conditions.

The extremely humid conditions made it extremely difficult for him to continue his match. However, he was not alone. British star Jack Draper, who faced Nicolas Jarry in the round of 64 also fell prey to the extreme conditions and quite clearly struggled to play. This eventually reflected in the scoreline as well as he was pushed out of the event by Jarry in a three-set thriller.

Thus, these two players quite clearly struggled with the extreme conditions in Miami. But, the list does not end here. It could only go on and on from here. Young stars Casper Ruud and Carlos Alcaraz also made their feelings clear about the hot and humid conditions in Miami.

In a video shared on social media, the Norwegian star was seen struggling and asking for water from the chair umpire amidst the tough conditions.
