A pair of rain delays marred First-Round Monday, with only three complete matches before thunderstorms suspended play. In the singles bracket, two out of four scheduled matches were completed in today’s competition. Two main draw matches have been postponed to Tuesday, as contests between Christian Harrison (USA) and Eric Quigley (USA) and Michael Mmoh (USA) and Marcus Giron (USA) were both pushed back due to weather.

Eighth-seeded Blaz Rola (SLO) faced American wild card selection JC Aragone in the first singles match of the day at Recreation Park. Rola took the first set from Aragone 6-4. He jumped to an early 3-1 lead in the second set, before Aragone won four straight games to take a 5-3 game lead. Tied at six, Rola and Aragone faced off in tiebreaker, where Rola held off Aragone, 7-2.

Alex Bolt (AUS) and Edan Leshem (ISR) were the last match of the day on center court, resuming play in the second set after the rain delay. Bolt won in straight-sets 6-3, 6-2 to advance in the singles bracket.

Starting the doubles tournament on Center Court, lefty-duo Cameron Norrie (GBR) and Alex Rybakov (USA) paired up against John Lamble (USA) and Evan Song (USA). Norrie and Rybakov defeated Lamble and Song in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3. Both Lamble and Song competed in yesterday’s singles qualifying round, as Song moved into the main draw with a victory over Connor Farren. Lamble was knocked out by second-seeded Eric Quigley.
