As if the hurricane flooding the courts in New York wasn’t enough, a new problem has occurred at the US Open. The recent case is a different kind of anomaly amid the ongoing qualifying week ahead of the actual singles action in a couple of days.

Going by the latest report, one of the qualifying matches on Thursday got suspended “due to issues with the court”. Speaking of the exact reason of the suspension, the X account @egdgeAI revealed that there was a “dent/hole” on the court. The encounter was about to kick off between Dutchman Jesper De Jong and France’s Harold Mayot.

Fortunately, the problem was resolved later as the match resumed between the two ATP pros. When it comes to the result, Jong beat Mayot with a score line of 7-6(11), 6-7,6-3.
