In one of the US Open's most bizarre match stoppages, blowing wind and rain under the corners of the Louis Armstrong Stadium roof halted a men's second-round matchup on Wednesday.
It was a day of incredible rain with only Louis Armstrong Stadium and Arthur Ashe Stadium were still in use.
Earlier during Sloane Stephens' 6-4 6-2 win over Coco Gauff on Arthur Ashe, the rain was pelting down so hard the commentators kept mentioning the reason behind the deafening noise.
But during South African Kevin Anderson's match against Argentina's 11th-seeded Diego Schwartzman, on Louis Armstrong, the wild weather invaded the court when showers stopped them three points into the second set.
Torrential rains, the remnants of deadly Hurricane Ida, were blown under the corners of the retractable roof at the facility, opened in 2018 to provide a second court to keeping playing despite downpours.
