Only one set was completed on a rainy Wednesday in Houston.

Entire singles second round to be completed Thursday

Wednesday’s play at the Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championship was cut short due to rain, with only one set completed on the red clay of Houston.

In the day’s only action at the ATP 250, Max Purcell won a 6-4 set against Daniel Altmaier in the last match of the opening round. Top seed Frances Tiafoe was set to open his campaign with a second-round match against Steve Johnson, while fourth seed John Isner was scheduled to face Gijs Brouwer.

With Wednesday’s rainout, all eight second-round matches are now on the Thursday slate, with the winner of the Purcell vs. Altmaier match set for double duty with a second match against eighth seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

In addition to Isner and Tiafoe, second seed Tommy Paul will also begin his tournament on Thursday against qualifier Yannick Hanfmann. Six singles matches are on tap for the Houston stadium court.
