Rain at the U.S. Open

After a week and a half of almost perfect weather, rain finally interrupted action at the U.S. Open. Men's quarterfinals began on Wednesday, and both Djokovic and Federer advanced to the semis. On Thursday, Juan Martin del Potro completed his match against Marin Cilic, winning in 4 sets, but the Nadal-Gonzalez match later that night was postponed during the second set tiebreak. Yesterday was a complete washout, and it was not until noon today that Nadal took the court again. I watched on TV, and it was ugly for Gonzalez. He lost every point in the rest of the tiebreak to drop the second set, then was bageled in the final set to lose 7-6, 7-6, 6-0. This sets up a Nadal-Del Potro semi to be played tomorrow, along with the Federer-Djokovic match. The men's final is currently scheduled for late Monday afternoon.
