Found a tournament suspension for the racket at the US Open

• The match at the US Open was suspended on Monday due to a search for a suspended racket.
• Mboko attempted to concentrate after the game suspension.
• Both tennis players highlighted professionalism during this unusual situation.

New York — One of the matches at the US Open on Monday was suspended due to a search for a suspended racket that fell from the racket of the Grand Prix champion Barbora Krejcikova. The suspension occurred at the second set of her match against Canadian Victoria Mboko.

The main arbiter, Orel Turt, Mboko, and also the viewers and the officials helped Krejcikova in the search. "This happened to us many times in our careers," Krejcikova noted. "We lost it, and we couldn't find it. The suspension was with us, so we all searched for it, and I am happy that we found it."

After the suspension was found, the 29-year-old athlete from the Czech Republic continued to play and won against Mboko with a score of 6-3, 6-2. Mboko, who is competing for 19 years, tried not to let the suspension affect her.

"These things happen in the game," she said. "It was normal, I tried to concentrate again, but the search took quite a bit of time. After all, I just wanted to gather myself. It was a small pause in the game, but I wanted to remain active and ready for the next point."

Mboko played with a strong focus after the previous injury. She returned from the previous tournament in Montreal, where she defeated several Grand Prix champions, including Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff.

"I am very happy to have the opportunity to play against such great players, and I believe that this is very good for my development as a tennis player," Mboko added. "They have won Grand Prix, and that is my goal. I also want to win a Grand Prix."
