No. 5 Cobolli Rallies From Two Sets Down at the US Open as Play Picks up After a Morning of Rain
Flavio Cobolli erased a two-set deficit and finished in 4 hours, 12 minutes as rain delayed play on the outer courts.
- On Tuesday, Italian Flavio Cobolli rallied from two sets down to defeat Francisco Comesana 3-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 at the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows. The comeback victory lasted 4 hours, 12 minutes, avoiding an early upset in the men's draw.
- Persistent rain showers beginning Monday night forced tournament officials to restrict play to courts with retractable roofs, including Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium. Outside courts remained closed through Tuesday morning until clouds cleared.
- Following the second set, Cobolli took a bathroom break and changed his entire outfit to shift momentum. "I changed all the dress that I started with today and it works," Cobolli said, noting such adjustments are rare in Grand Slams.
- While Cobolli advanced, the men's draw saw other significant shifts as Arthur Fils suffered an early loss. Top-ranked Jannik Sinner remained absent due to a right knee injury, while Taylor Fritz defeated American Darwin Blanch in straight sets.
- Night matches featuring Coco Gauff, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, and Alexander Zverev are scheduled for the third and final day of the first round. Tournament action continues as the field narrows after the weather-disrupted opening sessions.
