Iva Jovic and Magdalena Fręch suspended at US Open due to rain

The first-round US Open match between Iva Jovic and Magdalena Fręch was suspended due to rain on the third day of the tournament. At the time of the stoppage, the score was tied at 4-4 in the opening set. During the match, Jovic engaged in a dispute with chair umpire Aurélie Tourte regarding a point in the eighth game. Jovic slipped during a rally, which the American argued hindered her movement, but the umpire ruled the point could not be replayed because play had already commenced. The match was one of several postponed on the outer courts due to inclement weather conditions. The players are scheduled to return to the Grandstand on Wednesday, September 2, to complete the contest.
