16.50: We remind you that Fabio Fognini is currently on the field against the Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili and can follow the direct written report of the match on OA Sport.

16.30: No further communications have arrived regarding the pause of the match between Musetti and Ivashka. The game in Madrid is still at a standstill on the pitches where there is no cover.
15.50: The official communication from the organizers has now arrived. It will not be played before 16.30. The rain continues to fall and we have to understand if the interruption will last longer.

15.30: Forecasts show rain at least until 18. It could therefore be a day conditioned a lot by bad weather and some matches could also be moved to the three main fields, which have a roof.
15.20: A break that hopefully will help Musetti, who suffered a lot in the first set and never managed to find rhythm. Ivashka was dominating, also exploiting the uncertainties of the Tuscan, who complained about the lack of space in response.
