Tennis tournament ‘forced by authorities’ to kick fans out and play behind closed doors
Organisers at the Estoril Open kicked fans out of the grounds and continued play behind closed doors after being “forced” to do so by “authorities”. A mass power outage hit Spain and Portugal on Monday. Matches at the Masters 1000 event in Madrid were suspended and eventually cancelled.
However, play was able to continue at the Challenger 175 tournament in Estoril, though spectators were asked to leave and players had to compete without any supporters in the stands. Organisers issued a statement confirming the decision.
