US Open - round two - first attempt

First Wednesday of US Open 2019 and first interaction with the rain - not an issue for those players scheduled to compete under the roof on Arthur Ashe Stadium, and similarly for the ones rostered on at Louis Armstrong Stadium.

For unprotected outside courts, however, not a lot of tennis likely. When matches did receive the go ahead, and scoring on four courts began, the rain quickly returned, and remained. Mass cancellations and a bad day for ticket holders.
