In the first round of the U.S. Open tennis championships in New York, American Madison Keys and Italian Flavio Cobolli played their opening matches, while rain delayed the rest. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Keys faced Russia's Alina Korneeva, and Cobolli played Argentina's Francisco Comesana. The matches took place on the Grandstand court. Due to rain, other matches were postponed.
Associated Press photographers captured moments of Keys and Cobolli in action, as well as a couple sitting under an umbrella during the rain delay and a crew member walking across the court. All events occurred on September 1, 2026, in New York.
