Rain Forces Suspension of Raducanu’s Hobart Opener With Osorio Leading Second Set

Play will resume when the weather clears, disrupting her final tune-up before the Australian Open.

Overview

  • The first-round match was halted in the second set with Camila Osorio leading 4-2 after Emma Raducanu had taken the opener 6-3.
  • Officials stopped play following repeated weather interruptions as heavy rain and swirling winds made serving and shot-making difficult.
  • Temperatures were notably cold during the delays, with Raducanu using a towel to stay warm and Osorio showing frustration while managing a persistent cough.
  • The Hobart International is a WTA 250 lead-in to Melbourne, where Raducanu is the top seed in Hobart and confirmed as the 28th seed for the Australian Open.
  • Organizers expect the match to continue once conditions improve, with the winner set to face Magdalena Frech next.
