Overview
- A severe thunderstorm on Sunday led organisers to close and evacuate the Rot-Weiss club after lightning, standing water and damage to electrical and drainage systems made the grounds unsafe.
- Tournament officials repeatedly warned there would be no play before 4:00 p.m. while crews assessed and repaired power faults and drained the site, and they used social media and venue notices to ask ticket-holders to stay away.
- The doubles final was suspended with Ekaterina Alexandrova and Linda Nosková leading 6-3, 3-3 when play stopped, and organisers delayed the singles final for several hours to complete safety checks and repairs.
- After the long delay the singles final was played late on Sunday and Linda Nosková beat Jessica Pegula 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, a victory that moves Nosková into the WTA top 10 and gives her momentum ahead of Wimbledon.
- Spectators and media reported confusion and criticism of the evacuation process, and the tournament said it will provide updates on ticketing and next steps as it continues damage assessments and operational follow-up.
