Overview
- Rain on Tuesday suspended Buse’s original Sept. 1 match and the US Open rescheduled his first-round encounter with Marcos Giron for Court 6 on Wednesday, Sept. 2 as the second match not before 11:30 a.m. Peru time.
- Buse arrives at Flushing Meadows on a strong run after winning the Winston-Salem ATP 250, a result that pushed him near world No. 30 and moved him into the seeded group because of late withdrawals.
- The players already met this year at Queens, where Buse recovered from a set down to beat Giron 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (10-8), giving the Peruvian a recent head-to-head advantage.
- Broadcasters confirmed live coverage for the match on ESPN with streaming available on Disney+ across the region.
- Commentators have noted the schedule change could help Buse avoid the short-turn fatigue that hurt him at Roland Garros and some analysts, including Pablo Arraya, say he has a realistic chance of reaching the third round.
