Organisers on Sunday suspended the final of the Berlin Open tennis tournament and have cleared everyone out of the event location due to "severe weather conditions".
Sunday's final between third seed Jessica Pegula and eighth seed Linda Noskova was scheduled for midday local time but was postponed when a thunderstorm broke out which damaged infrastructure on site in the west of the German capital.
The mercury in the German capital has topped 30 degrees celsius (86 fahrenheit) across the weekend, with storms sweeping across much of the region on Sunday.
Writing on social media, organisers said the storm had caused "damage to the site's infrastructure" and advised fans not to attend, having cleared people out of the venue.
