News and notes from the U.S. Open

Rain. Again.

September
5

Yes, raindrops have again cleared the courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. This is the sixth session affected by rain. It’s good and bad. Bad because a lost day is tough on players and their preparation, but it’s good for fans who have tickets for sunny days.

The glut of matches that have to be rescheduled means you don’t need a ticket to Ashe to see a great match. The outer courts will have better players and power singles matches as the U.S. Open gets back on schedule, and usually that’s something you only see in the first week.

The day session is cancelled while the night session is still on—but the forecast isn’t promising. The USTA usually waits to make the call.
