On Monday morning, there were major traffic jams near the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows.

This all happened just before the start of the daily morning matches at the tournament.

Many attendees arrived late due to transportation issues in the area.

Among those in a difficult situation were players, coaches, and media representatives with US Open accreditations.

According to Eleanor Crooks, a member of the UK Press Association, the journey to the tournament took much longer than usual.

Despite the inconvenience, the New York police did not react aggressively to the situation, and no one was arrested for leaving the buses.

Whether anyone decided to follow the players and walk to the stadium remains unknown.

The US Open organizers did not respond to The Sun's inquiries regarding this situation.

Meanwhile, matches in the tournament have already begun, and one of the first participants to say goodbye to the tournament was Petra Kvitova, who lost in the first round, effectively ending her tennis career.

On the second day of the US Open, a transportation issue caused traffic jams on the roads, which significantly complicated the journey for accredited individuals and visitors to the tournament. This situation even prompted players to abandon the buses and opt to walk along the highway. Although the New York police did not take aggressive action against rule-breakers, the tournament organizers decided to refrain from commenting on this topic. However, these events did not prevent the tournament from starting, where one participant has already experienced the end of her professional career.
