Alex de Minaur reaches the court in New York after his US Open first-round match is postponed, only for heavy rain to interrupt play again. Reports say he begins his contest with a fast start before the weather worsens and another delay follows.
The articles present the disruption as part of an ongoing pattern of rain affecting scheduling at the tournament. While outlets focus on de Minaur’s momentum once he finally gets on court, they also note that the conditions force officials to halt matches to ensure player safety and workable playing surfaces. The timing differences are described similarly across coverage: an initial postponement leads to delayed court time, then further rain creates a second interruption before play can continue.
