A second consecutive afternoon of rain Friday compressed the tournament’s already backlogged schedule further.
A second consecutive afternoon of rain Friday played havoc with the tournament’s already backlogged schedule and inconvenienced ticket holders, closing the grassy expanse just north of Rock Creek Park Tennis Center that doubles as a parking lot because it was too waterlogged for cars.
Nick Kyrgios, the 2019 champion, was actually scheduled to play three times Friday. First, Kyrgios had to finish his third-round match against the fourth-seeded Opelka. After winning that, he returned to Stadium Court at roughly 10:30 p.m. to contest his quarterfinal against Hyattsville native Frances Tiafoe, who earlier in the day had also mopped up a rain-halted match from Wednesday, ousting eighth-seeded Botic van de Zandschulp.
Other players said the trials of Washington’s Citi Open are making them stronger — even in defeat. That was the view of Opelka, 24, after his loss to Kyrgios.The 6-foot-11 Opelka, who boasts the biggest serve in men’s tennis, faced the unenviable task Friday of clawing back from a 6-7 , 1-2 deficit against Kyrgios, whose own serve is a forced to be feared.
Of the top 10 men’s seeds, only two made it as far as the quarterfinals: top seed Andrey Rublev, who ousted American Maxime Cressy, 6-4, 7-6 , and the 10th-seeded Tiafoe.
