At the U.S. Open in New York, rainy weather has been causing inconvenience for players and organizers in the early days. Rain that began Monday evening continued into Tuesday, leading to the postponement of all matches on outer courts. Only matches in Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong stadiums, which have retractable roofs, were played, as reported by infohub.kz.
No. 22 seed Madison Keys started her match against Alina Korneeva at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Meanwhile, men's No. 5 seed Flavio Cobolli quickly lost the first set to Francisco Comesana at Louis Armstrong Stadium. At the same time, No. 2 seed Elena Rybakina, No. 12 Belinda Bencic, and No. 32 Maria Sakkari were waiting to start their matches.
Elena Rybakina has multiple paths to the world No. 1 ranking at the U.S. Open. Her opponent is 17-year-old American Thea Frodin from California, who served as a body double for actress Demi Singleton, who played Serena Williams in the 2021 film "King Richard."
Coco Gauff, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, No. 17 Alex Eala, and men's No. 1 seed Alexander Zverev were scheduled to play in the evening session on the final day of the first round.
