Rain delays disrupt US Open matches at the Billie Jean King Center

Heavy rain at the US Open forced the suspension of multiple first-round matches on the outer courts. A match between Grigor Dimitrov and Alexei Popyrin was halted with the pair tied at one set apiece and 2-2 in the decider. Tournament organizers cleared the courts at approximately 9 p.m. EDT, moving several affected matches to Monday morning. The weather also impacted play at the Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium, where roof operations and mechanical issues caused further delays. Unsettled weather is forecasted to continue through the week in Flushing, presenting ongoing scheduling challenges for the tournament.
