US OPen Tennis Should Get Rained Out Today

[jjgold]

Would be surprised if they got a match in

[Tech N9ne]

They better play I wanna get paid

[KC]

Dont forget nascar 11am if you tennis fans need some action

[EaglesPhan36]

Early matches will start. There is a window to get some play in before Noon.

[Ace_of_Spades]

They really need to install roofs on the stadiums.

[Radio Bemba]

They really need to install roofs on the stadiums.

what's the point, they got hundreds of ballkids ready at a moment's notice to get on their knees and dry the courts with towels!

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

rain has just started again in NYC.

[jjgold]

They aint playing today

[EaglesPhan36]

Forecast ever changing. They will try to squeeze in any play they can though, guarantee that because the schedule is going to be really clogged up if rain sticks around for two days. Going to be tough on the players.

[FR3SH like UgHH]

so are the early matches a go?

[saints1856]

Just looked at the Weather Channel - not looking good

[Regul8er]

Players are out warming up. It's overcast, but things might be ok.

[crustyme]

jj is powerful enough to mush the weather.

[crustyme]

just said wont begin before 12:30.

[leetfox]

Anyone knows why is Isner/Simon match postponed? Is it raining already?

[gators0708]

Yep no play till 12:30 at the earliest

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Could be pretty bad for the night session matches, Roddick/Ferrer is meant to be on at 7pm EST. That match could go lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng, and winner has to play Nadal too.

[tevari]

i live in the area, i really doubt they'll get any matches in. not to be a pessimist but it really doesn't look or sound good out here

[yisman]

I also live in the area and it's still raining.

[jjgold]

there is no tennis today

[Demonata]

Wow is it really going to rain the whole darn day.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

supposedly there might be play between 2pm and 4pm est.

Murray/young and isner/simon are first on - hard to imagine the latter being a short match though.

[jjgold]

Why would they play for 2 hrs??

It does not make sense

[Demonata]

supposedly there might be play between 2pm and 4pm est. Murray/young and isner/simon are first on - hard to imagine the latter being a short match though.

Where can you get updates?

[jjgold]

Going to be tough now

Guys and gals are going to be playing everyday

It changes everything..I think tomorrow some rain also

[leetfox]

Is it still raining there? Does it look like the matches will be delayed again?

[jjgold]

Light rain

Going to be delays, no idea how they will get in many matches

[Glitch]

heavy rain weather.com says

majors without roofs.

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

slight drizzle in NYC right now. skies look bleak. they will be lucky to get anything in today, IMO.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Getting kinda ugly for the guys who haven't played R4 yet (Murray/young, nadal/muller, isner/simon, roddick/ferrer). Fed and Djoko are happy already in qfs.

[vincanity15]

Just saw this on BBC news : Andy Murray's part-time coach Sven Groeneveld says there will be no play before 1200 local time

gonna be a stop start day at best.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Winner of Isner/Simon is ****ed. That match likely goes long. Then they have Murray the following day. Then Nadal in semis.

[jjgold]

doubt they play today

[vincanity15]

Courts being dried right now, might begin play in 30min

[Demonata]

Courts being dried right now, might begin play in 30min

Great News.
