Play at the US Open has been disrupted by weather, affecting both Latvian representatives in the tournament. Matches for both Jeļena Ostapenko and Daria Semenistaja have been pushed back as rain falls at the venue.

Tournament organizers have had to pause or postpone matches until conditions improve, a common occurrence at major tennis tournaments played on outdoor courts without a roof. No new match times have been confirmed yet, leaving both players and spectators waiting for the rain to clear before the schedule can resume.

Both Ostapenko and Semenistaja are among the most recognizable names in Latvian tennis on the international stage, and their performances at the US Open are being closely followed at home. Tournament organizers typically try to adjust the schedule to minimize disruption, though prolonged rain can lead to delays lasting several days across the entire event.
