US Open – Day 10 (4R)

Another frustrating day at Flushing Meadows… Matches were delayed 90 minutes due to rain. The players entered three different courts in front of rather empty stadiums only to play a couple games when a drizzle forced them to walk off. More than fours hours later, the officials decided of postponing the matches to Thursday! The biggest problems with these inconvenient conditions had Rafael Nadal, who delivered two double faults in his opening service game and was broken to ‘love’! “We are not protected, we are only part of the show,” complained Nadal on the slippery court on which he spent about fifteen minutes on Wednesday.
