Not that I'm aiming to spoil the fun, but from the forecasts I've seen, a lot of rain is to be expected

Anyone in NY over here who has more positive news?

 

[irma]

they said that about yesterday too

 

[ys]

No, today is a very likely day of no play.

 

[maya]

So is it supposed to rain just part of the day or whole day? Is it raining at the moment?

 

[Freewoman33]

drizzling

 

[ys]

And it is a big, big front coming from the west, with a lot of rain. Look at the map..

Today's day of play is likely doomed.

Thanks for the info.

If I'm mentally prepared, any live tennis we do get will be considered a bonus!

They will let CAPRIATI play first and move off the Navratilova match. They really want to make sure that Cappy has that advantage over Juju over getting her match done today

No thats what they will do, they did it last year for Cappy on that day where Pete had that rgument with Rusedski.

Have you seen the size of AAS?

But at wimby yes.

I live in the NY area (Northern NJ; 15 minutes outside of upper Manhattan) and it is drizzling right now, but there are storms moving in from PA and should be here in a couple of hours.

I don't want to spoil all the fun, but expect to see little to no tennis today and rain is in the forecast until Thursday (according to local radio).

No he is right. If they see a possible edge for Cappy, they will quietly supply it.

There has been talk about that, but the earliest you can expect a retractable roof is 2006, and I am being optomistic.

 

[Dava]

OMG its going to be ONE of those days!

This sucks ass. Today I got out of class at 11am, and was supposed to get to see all of my favorites play today, culminating with Juan Carlos tonight as my last day of freedom before school really starts up. Argh this is maddening. I hope rain doesn't ruin this US Open.

 

[Dava]

Well Showers on and off, doesnt mean the worst, if the gorundstaff do thier jobs right.

I forgot to mention that there is a slight possiblilty that we might be hit byn Hurricane Fabian (emphasis on the word slight).
