Italian fifth seed Flavio Cobolli comes back from two sets down to win his first-round match at the US Open, preventing another early upset in the men’s draw.
Multiple outlets report that the match follows a slow start due to weather. Japan Today notes that play resumes after a morning of rain, while ABC Australia frames the result as Cobolli avoiding “another US Open boilover.” Both describe the comeback as the deciding factor, with Cobolli overcoming a two-set deficit to secure a win.
While the sources differ mainly in emphasis—ABC Australia highlights the upset-avoidance context and Cobolli’s seeding, and Japan Today focuses more on the rain-related delay—the outcome is consistent. Cobolli is the player who rallies from two sets down and advances after the match reaches a point where play continues.
