SA’s Kevin Anderson was blown away by Diego Schwartzman, who won their USOpen second-round clash in a weather-delayed match bizarrely played on two courts. By Herman_Gibbs | IOLsport
The rain bucketed down on Louis Armstrong Stadium roof. It then found its way, with the help of gale-force winds, into the arena via openings that were designed to maintain ventilation.
After the court was wiped down with towels, play continued, but 10 minutes later, the umpires suspended the game, and the play was interrupted for the third time. From that point onwards, the diminutive world number 14 Diego Schwartzman, the 11th seed, made light work of the tie. He blitzed through the second set in 43 minutes after securing a break of serve in the eighth game before serving out for the set, which he won 6-3.
