Rain Pushes Ignacio Buse’s US Open Debut to Wednesday

His seeded status after a Winston‑Salem ATP 250 win has heightened attention on the rescheduled first‑round match.

Overview

  • Rain in New York suspended Tuesday’s schedule and organizers moved Buse’s first‑round match against Marcos Giron to Wednesday, Sept. 2, on Court 6 with a start no earlier than 11:30 a.m. Peru time.
  • Buse arrives at Flushing Meadows fresh off his Winston‑Salem ATP 250 title, which lifted him to about world No. 30 and opened a seeded spot at the US Open after late withdrawals.
  • The players have one recent meeting this year: Buse beat Giron 3‑6, 7‑5, 7‑6 (10‑8) at the Queens event, giving the Peruvian a clear competitive reference for the rematch.
  • The match will keep its planned broadcast on ESPN with live streaming available on Disney+ across the region, so fans in Peru and Latin America can follow the rescheduled contest.
  • Peruvian media and former pro Pablo Arraya have framed Buse’s rise as part of a national tennis renaissance, a narrative that raises expectations and adds pressure on the 22‑year‑old in his Grand Slam main‑draw debut.
