Australian tennis player Alex de Minaur advanced to the second round of the US Open after defeating Italian qualifier Andrea Guerrieri in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4. The match, originally scheduled for earlier in the week, was subject to significant delays due to a tournament-wide scheduling backlog and a two-hour rain interruption on the day of play.
The victory marks a successful start for the Australian number one, who had been waiting until the fourth day of the tournament to begin his campaign. Other Australian competitors, including Taylah Preston, were eliminated in the first round of the event.
