In tennis, the term “suspended” typically refers to a temporary interruption or stoppage of a match or tournament due to various reasons.
This interruption can happen for reasons such as rain, darkness, or other unforeseen circumstances that make it impossible or unsafe to continue play.
For example, if rain starts during a match and makes the court surface slippery or unsafe, the officials may decide to suspend the match until the weather improves and the court becomes playable again.
The decision to suspend a match is usually made by the tournament referee or officials in consultation with players and takes into account factors such as player safety and the fairness of competition.
Once the conditions are suitable for play to resume, the match will continue from the point of suspension. In some cases, matches may be postponed to the following day if the interruption is significant.
The decision to suspend or postpone a match is made to ensure the integrity and fairness of the competition.
