Imagine playing a gripping match in one of the most prestigious tournaments, only to have it suspended. The frustration would be palpable for even the calmest of players. This is exactly what Canadian tennis star Leylah Annie Fernandez and her Danish counterpart, Caroline Wozniacki, are experiencing at Wimbledon.
Amid the ongoing grass-court grand slam Wimbledon, the second-round clash between Wozniacki and Fernandez was stopped due to bad light. The decision was taken minutes after the Danish player requested the referee to halt the match, which was initially rejected. However, with both players 3-3 in the third set, the referee decided to shift the match from Court 12 to Court 1. As per the latest reports, the match will be started at 9:45, local time. Meanwhile, the situation left both the players frustrated.

Caroline Wozniacki was also seen ringing up her kid’s nanny to take care of them as she is now forced to play a late-night match. Currently, the match stands tied with both players winning one set each.
