Watch: Cincinnati Open suspended for 90 minutes due to local power failure, generator catches fire
General photo from the Cincinnati Open tennis tournament. (Reuters) Play at the Cincinnati Open was temporarily suspended on Monday due to a local power outage that affected both match operations and television broadcasts. The suspension occurred around 5pm local time when broadcast channels lost their court camera feeds, and matches had to be halted due to the inability to use electronic line calling systems, which are mandatory for ATP Tour events. The power outage impacted several ongoing matches, including Taylor Fritz's contest against Lorenzo Sonego and Benjamin Bonzi's match against Stefanos Tsitsipas. Multiple doubles matches were also in progress when the suspension was announced. The tournament officially addressed the situation through their social media channels, stating: "Due to an on-site power outage, play is currently suspended." Tennis pundit Gigi Salmon provided updates to Sky Sports viewers, explaining: "Welcome back to the Cincinnati Open where unfortunately play is currently suspended. There is a local power outage which has meant a loss of pictures. The tennis did continue for a while. In that time, Taylor Fritz was able to complete that first set on a tiebreak against Lorenzo Sonego, and Benjamin Bonzi was able to come back from dropping the first set to Stefanos Tsitsipas, to move to 5-2 in the second [set] but a local power outage affects the electronic line calling. " US broadcaster Tennis Channel also informed viewers through social media: "Play in Cincinnati is currently suspended due to an onsite power outage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They were so beautiful before; look at them now; number 10 will shock you Boite A Scoop Undo Stay tuned for updates on when the action resumes." The suspension lasted approximately 90 minutes, with play resuming shortly after 6:30pm local time. It later appeared that the outage was due to a generator catching fire and impacting the power situation at the tournament in Mason. Before the power outage, several matches had been completed, including Emma Raducanu's three-hour and nine-minute battle against Aryna Sabalenka, which ended in a 7-6, 4-6, 7-6 defeat for the Briton. This incident marks the second time this season that a major ATP and WTA 1000 tournament has experienced power-related disruptions. A similar situation occurred at the Madrid Open in April, when a nationwide power cut in Spain forced the cancellation of all remaining matches for that day. Earlier in the day, before the power disruption, players including Anna Kalinskaya, Ekaterina Alexandrova, and Frances Tiafoe had successfully advanced to the last 16 of the tournament.

Why does Ben Shelton have red marks on his arms?
BEN Shelton came from a set down to defeat Lorenzo Sonego and reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time. But during the match fans noticed some big red marks on the arms of America's world No. 10 — here's everything you need to know about them. 3 Wearing his trademark tank top for the round four Wimbledon 2025 clash with Lorenzo Sonego, strange dark red and purple patches could be seen on Ben Shelton 's arms and body during the contest. These circular marks are the result of cupping therapy — an ancient healing technique that has become increasingly popular among athletes seeking natural ways to enhance recovery, manage pain and improve performance. The distinctive round, reddish-purple marks left on the skin are a hallmark of the practice. They are caused by the suction effect of the cups breaking tiny blood vessels — known as capillaries — just under the skin's surface. What is cupping therapy? Cupping involves placing glass, plastic or silicone cups on the skin and creating a vacuum by either heating the air inside the cup or using a mechanical pump. This suction pulls the skin and underlying tissue upward, which expands blood vessels and increases blood flow to the area. It also stretches fascia — a type of connective tissue found throughout the body, which is primarily made from collagen — and helps to release muscle knots and tension, stimulates the immune system. It does this by creating a mild, localised inflammatory response, which can promote healing and draw impurities to the surface, making it easier for the body to eliminate them. Why do people use cupping therapy? Cupping therapy has a long history, rooted in the traditional medicine of Chinese, Egyptian and Middle Eastern cultures. The Ebers Papyrus — one of the oldest medical textbooks in the world from 1550 BC — describes how the ancient Egyptians used cupping therapy for treating fever, pain, vertigo, menstrual problems and other ailments. BBC pundit left red-faced as Wimbledon star Ben Shelton corrects her embarrassing blunder live on TV Today, the healing practice is widely used by athletes and non-athletes alike for several reasons. Healing Cupping is commonly sought for its ability to reduce muscle pain and tension. The suction increases blood flow to targeted areas, helping to alleviate soreness and promote faster recovery from injuries or strenuous activity. Enhanced circulation is another benefit — by drawing blood to the surface, cupping improves local circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to tissues and accelerating the healing process. 3 Improved blood flow aids in flushing out metabolic waste and toxins from the tissues, which is believed to support the body's natural detoxification processes. Relaxation and stress reduction The therapy can have a calming effect on the nervous system. It helps to reduce stress and promote a sense of relaxation similar to a deep tissue massage. This is why many non-athletes also enjoy the practice recreationally. Muscle recovery Cupping speeds up muscle recovery after intense training sessions. The increased circulation helps repair micro-tears and reduce inflammation. By loosening tight muscles and connective tissues, cupping can increase range of motion and decrease stiffness as well.
