Anyone for tennis?

News and notes from the U.S. Open

Finally, some tennis

August
30

After two cancelled sessions, looks like it will be a long, dry day at the Open. There are five matches scheduled for each court as the USTA tries to make up for lost time. It’s one of those rare days when fans can get a grounds pass and watch 12+ hours of tennis, no problem.

The long-term weather forecast calls for the remnants of Ernesto to hit New York on Saturday, meaning two more days of possible rain. With the indoor practice courts torn down, that could lead to more player frustration with the USTA.

There is a new three-story building, with lockers, hospitality and perhaps shopping scheduled to be ready for 2008, but that’s not going to help this weekend.
