no, not sure if it would be even possible and when it would cost a fortune. they rather wait till they have to build a new stadium.
 
Seems like all matches have been canceled today :(

Here's something funny:

The revised schedule is such shit for tomorrow, in a situation where there is supposed to be more rain tomorrow, then matches that result with the winner facing the other should be put on at the same time.
 
Regarding all the Fed hating from the precious page, what specific examples are there of Fed being arrogant/pompous/etc? I personally don't see him that way at all. Especially compared to athletes from other sports. Michael Jordan vs Fed? The latter comes off as relatively polite, soft spoken, and deserving of his fame. He doesn't seem to possess the excess of other athletes.

Murray comes off as more of an ass.

But maybe I'm just that biased. I tend to appreciate tennis players more than other athletes because its the only sport I follow.

It'll forever be a contested issue. Not worth engaging in.
 
LOL @ the "c'mon" image.

Anyway, here's the schedule for today (weather permitting):

Arthur Ashe Stadium - 11am
Gilles Muller vs. Rafael Nadal (4th Round)
Novak Djokovic vs. Janko Tipsarevic (QF)

Arthur Ashe Stadium - 7pm
Serena Williams vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (QF)
Roger Federer vs. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (QF)

Louis Armstrong Stadium - 11am
David Ferrer vs. Andy Roddick (4th Round)
Samantha Stosur vs. Vera Zvonareva (QF)
Caroline Wozniacki vs. Andrea Petkovic (QF) - not before 3pm, may be moved to Arthur Ashe Stadium

Grandstand - 11am
Donald Young vs. Andy Murray (4th Round)
John Isner vs. Gilles Simon (4th Round)
Angelique Kerber vs. Flavia Pennetta (4th Round)

Two Americans and Nadal playing at the same time? How the hell are they going to cover that? @_@ ESPN2 and Tennis Channel both will be broadcasting simultaneously, so that's at least TWO matches :)
 
hmm, looks like i'll have the TV on while following select matches on espn3 and usopen.org.
 
Don't undertsand how ISner is not on a tv court, they are at least 3 more courts that have tv, just move a fucking Legends doubles match and they better televise the other matches online either usopenlive or espn3.


Edit: Oh my god espn has been talking about Nadull's cramps for over an hour, it's fucking cramping it will not effect you over two days later. goddam.
 
I can't stand watching the ESPN2 coverage, all these bullock opinionated discussions. Yeah Nadal took a while, let it be, it's not like it was over 10 minutes or anything.

And yes, hell they can just get a giant umbrella for this thing, have the poles sitting right in the center of the main courts. It'll be a fun obstacle! Chase Tricker Pole Grandslam!

I liked it better when they showed Connors vs. Krickstein in the Us Open rain delays....

Nadal (to Brian Earley): "It's the same old story, all you think about is money."

People pretty much agree. Super Saturday is ridiculous. No other slam does back-to-back matches like that.
 
It's nice to see Tipsarevic in the Top 20 and doing so well. I became a fan of his ever since his epic 5 set match against Federer a couple of years ago in the Aussie Open

I would really love it if they played classic matches rather than encores during these delays. I'm such a new fan to tennis, I've totally missed out on some epic matches.

Lawl, US Open drama hitting.

The weather doesn't look so good the next 2 days, I wonder how they will work this out.

This is what I wonder as well. Do they go past next sunday into the following week? Or do they just use more courts to squeeze in more matches?
 
LOL @ Serena: http://twitter.com/#!/serenawilliams/status/111501412319510528

"Preach @RafaelNadal preach! My Fellow Booty Brother!!! #gobigbutts lol"
 
djoker and federer match apparently canceled for today.

if they don't play/finish today they will play 4 days in a row.

neither the 2010 nor the 2009 finals were played on sunday.
 
Wow. This is a clusterfuck. Nadal is pissed and brought Murray and Roddick along with him to echo his sentiments to the officials.

The USTA issued a statement saying that they thought that that had a window of opportunity to play and will listen to players if they don't feel the court is suitable for play....even though Murray said that he told the umpire that the back of the court was still soaking wet.

Djokovic: "GET A FUCKING ROOF"

Nadal does have the sweetest ass on the men's side...
 
According to Andy Murray's twitter, the entire Wednesday session has been cancelled.

Well played!

so murray/nadal side of the draw will have to play 4 days in a row (well if they actually can play).

Yeah... TV guys here are saying that rain is expected nonstop until monday (wtf) It would turn into a disaster. Let's hope the clouds go away.
