2025 US Open qualifying postponed due to Wednesday rain

NEW YORK—The 2025 US Open was forced to cancel play on its outer courts on Wednesday due to inclement weather, postponing the second round of its qualifying tournament to Thursday.

The semifinals and final of the revamped mixed doubles event is still set to take place Wednesday evening thanks to the Arthur Ashe Stadium roof.

Following a storm that delayed action past the scheduled 11AM start, play briefly got underway across the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center before the rain returned to drive players back off court.

No matches were completed on Wednesday.

Thanks to the Ashe Stadium roof, fans will see the first Slam trophy of the tournament awarded in mixed doubles. Starting at 7PM, the first semifinal will take place between top seeds Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper and No. 3 seeds Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud.

The second semifinal will feature alternates Danielle Collins and Christian Harrison, who will face wild cards and defending champions Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori.

The final will take place immediately following the second semifinal, with the winning team splitting $1 million in total prize money, while the runners-up will take home $400,000.

Thursday will see the resumption of US Open qualifying, which will feature top seeds Arthur Cazaux and Francesca Jones.
