Rain has pushed the start of the US Open back, as New York City’s September weather turns into a wet spell. The tournament’s first round, originally slated for Monday, will now open on Tuesday, giving players a day to adjust and fans a chance to plan around the delay. Organizers have already begun setting up additional drainage and protective measures to keep the courts playable, while the weather forecast predicts more showers in the coming days. Despite the setback, the event’s organizers remain optimistic that the tournament will proceed smoothly once the skies clear.
