Alex de Minaur is rolling with the punches after finally posting a belated first-round US Open victory in dreary and drab New York.
After having his tournament opener against Andrea Guerrieri postponed until day four, de Minaur had to endure another two-hour rain delay before seeing off the Italian qualifier in straight sets.
Former champion Daniil Medvedev and American home hope Alex Michelsen were already safely through to round three before de Minaur even made it on court for his opening match.
