Jaume Munar defeats Térence Atmane at the US Open after medical disputes

Jaume Munar advanced to the second round of the 2026 US Open after a four-hour and 54-minute victory over Térence Atmane. Munar won the first-round match with a final score of 6-7(5), 3-6, 6-1, 7-6(4), 7-5. The match was marked by on-court friction, beginning with Munar's frustration over his opponent's pace of play and communication with his coach. Later, Atmane demanded medical treatment during the fifth set, which officials denied after determining his condition was muscle cramping rather than an injury. Atmane protested the decision, insisting he was experiencing pain in both legs, but play resumed under ITF rules that prohibit medical timeouts for cramps. Munar proceeds to face No. 26 seed Arthur Rinderknech in the next round of the tournament.
