Drama has taken hold of the WTA Berlin 2026 on the worst possible day. Hours before the final match between Jessica Pegula and Linda Noskova, a terrible storm hit the city and the tournament facilities, leading to the postponement of the match and the evacuation of the audience from the venue as a precaution.

During the morning, the storm already suggested that the Pegula vs. Noskova match would not start on time. However, what few people foresaw was the extent of the delay and the tournament itself issuing a statement confirming the seriousness of the situation. "Dear tennis fans: Due to adverse weather conditions, we were forced to evacuate the tournament facilities as a precaution. The heavy rains have caused damage to part of the venue's infrastructure."

Dear Tennis Fans,
First of all, we would like to thank you for your cooperation during the evacuation of the tournament grounds. The safety of all visitors has always been, and remains, our highest priority. pic.twitter.com/cQlyCsYFrl

Berlin tournament explains the consequences of the storm

Later, the tournament provided more information, stating that "we were prepared for the predicted weather conditions and had already taken precautionary measures. However, the intensity and speed of the storm required additional actions on very short notice." In fact, the electronic systems have also been damaged, so the tournament announced that the match would not resume until everything is secured at 100%.

"We will continue to provide updates via email and our social networks. At the moment, the resumption of play is not expected before 4:00 PM. Information regarding tickets and any other related matters will be communicated as the day unfolds," they concluded. Therefore, it will be necessary to wait several hours to find out who will be the winner of such a prestigious tournament.
