U.S. Open defending champion Naomi Osaka advanced on Day Three of the tournament Wednesday without even hitting the court, as her second-round opponent, Olga Danilovic, pulled out because a non-Covid viral illness.

Other winners included the second-ranked man, Daniil Medvedev and Simona Halep, Kevin Anderson and Diego Schwartzman's match was moved to Arthur Ashe Stadium after the only other stadium at New York’s Flushing Meadows with a retractable roof, Louis Armstrong Stadium, had rain from the torrential downpours from the remnants of Hurricane Ida still able to get in. Schwartzman got the win.
