Inclement weather suspended play on the uncovered outer courts of the U.S. Open on Monday afternoon at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The disruption occurred during the second day of the tournament as storms moved through the Queens area, halting multiple matches in the middle of play. While competition continued inside the climate-controlled Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium, several outer-court contests, including those involving Berrettini, Wawrinka, Stephens, and Tauson, were forced to stop. Forecasts from the National Weather Service indicate a 70 percent chance of precipitation through the night, leaving the status of remaining matches uncertain. Tournament officials continue to monitor weather conditions to determine if outdoor play can resume before Tuesday.
