Today's matches at the Masters and WTA 1000 tournament in Madrid had to be interrupted or postponed due to a massive system failure, leaving much of Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy without power. The timeline for when the situation will normalize has been revealed.
Details: Eduardo Prieto, the director of energy operations in Spain, has indicated that a quick resolution is unlikely.
Quote:
“This is a problem that cannot be resolved in a matter of hours. It will take between 6 to 10 hours.”
According to authorities, approximately 10 GW disappeared from the power grid in just one minute. The root cause is believed to be a cyberattack. This outage is being described as one of the largest in European history.
Reminder: Following his exit from the Madrid tournament, legendary Novak Djokovic hinted at retirement.
