Is the hurricane back? I'm at work so can't watch regardless.

Caroline was obviously just joking around, as you can see she knows how bad muscle cramps can be :\

The USTA badly needs to get a court with a roof. The other three majors all have one.

other 3? roland garros doesn't have a court with roof.

It doesn't yet, but they are building one on Philippe Chatrier. The USTA doesn't have any plans to do so.

well it's a $150 million roof, and as you all should know we're in the worst economic crisis since the great depression

Some covers would at least help the turnaround time when the rain stops.

People towelling down the courts is ridiculous.

Seriously... those vacuum/blower machines are a bit better than towels, but keeping something dry has been important and done correctly for over 3000 years. I don't understand why Flushing Meadows thinks they know better than everyone else.

Yeah, but that's not really hurting athletics in the United States. Professional sports are still making millions or billions of dollars -- tennis obviously isn't football, basketball, or baseball, but I don't think they are hurting for cash. Golf certainly isn't.

On a completely unrelated note, it is hotter than...some hot thing. I dunno, IT'S THAT HOT right now, that I can't come up with anything better.

I had tickets for Tuesday at the Open, Arthur Ashe, and I got rained out.

Damn you god.

by **fedfan** » Wed, 07 Sep 2011 22:25

Rained off again!

Monday or Tuesday final then? Scheduling is gonna be a big factor now.
