Overview
- Rain returned to Flushing Meadows on Monday and suspended play across the uncovered outer courts while Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium continued under closed roofs.
- Sunday night storms had already pushed several outer-court first-round matches into Monday, and the new stoppages have added more matches back to the uncompleted list.
- High-profile outer-court contests that went dark include Matteo Berrettini vs. Stan Wawrinka and the Martin Landaluce vs. Jacob Fearnley match, and several women’s matches such as Emma Navarro vs. Loïs Boisson were also affected.
- Weather forecasts from the National Weather Service show elevated overnight shower and thunderstorm chances and analytics accounts like edgeAI warned that play would be postponed to the next day if rain continued late into the evening.
- The combined delays push Day 2 above the originally scheduled load of matches, create tighter turnaround times for qualifiers and lower-ranked players, and raise the odds that more matches will carry over into the next day.
