From the US OPEN OFFICIAL SITE:
The Clijsters-Williams match will start at approximately 8pm in Arthur Ashe stadium, as soon as weather permits.
The Wickmayer-Wozniacki match will now be played in Louis Armstrong stadium as soon as weather permits.
Goddammit i wish they would get a roof or something…
It started raining/drizzling after the Rafa/Gonzo match. But apparently, they are drying off the courts now but it is still a very light drizzle so hopefully the women’s first semi final will be able to get underway.
Meanwhile, Kim-C uploaded a few photos from her website, kimclijsters.be <<If you wanna check them all out.
That’s how long it took Rafa to demolish Gonzo in their rain interrupted match from Thursday. They finally took to the court with the match at a 2nd set tiebreak.
Rafa won all of the points to go to a two set lead. He went to a 2-0 lead before Fernando took a time out and got his ankle/foot strapped.
It didn’t help.
Gonzo lost the third set 6-0 and Rafa set up a semi final berth with Elf tomorrow. Rafael was solid. Gonzalez was, crap. So many unforced errors lost him the match. I guess he was going for too much.
Vamos Rafa…..

*SUBJECT TO CHANGE
Here is the oop which is Okay i guess but for the women its gonna be pretty crap.
Gonzo and Nadal still hvae to finish their quarter final match. Shall be interesting, especially if Gonzo wins the 2nd set. Haha
No matches were played today as heavy rainfall drenched the courts. I think this will teach the players a lesson as to stop saying they don’t need a frickening roof.
I got up at 4am to watch it to be pissed off and waited till 6 for 30minute updates. I was ecstatic the night before as i was briefly looking at was on my free to air channels (don’ t have fox 😦 boo) to see the tennis. They kept showing live cross backs to Flushing Meadows and Ashe looked like a swimming pool (literally)
So yer. It is screwed up and they kept on saying they may play the Gonzo/Rafa match until they decided it was never going to stop so here are todays drenched and blow dryed out photos. Lol.
The players practiced on indoor courts as the rain kept on coming.
Aweee and the warm fuzzy feeling comes back. 🙂
The belgian 19-year-old with another hear warming story. Her mum died when she was 9 and she convinced her dad to pack up and head the the americas. 🙂
Kim and Brian. 🙂
In the player lounge chatting and relaxing. Been here since 10 and they’re still hoping we’ll play. Rain’s pretty constant though!
Never, Jo, Never put your shirt back on
The players were hitting during the week and here a few to wrap it up:
I think the US OPEN is the best website for pictures and news, sorry AO!
Andy threw the first pitch against the Yankees verse rangers
Oh, and he also had a hit with David Letterman as well,
