Sam and Rennae thwarted by rain

Sam and Rennae thwarted by rain

12 Sep 2009

A complete rain-out on Friday at the US Open forced tournament officials to postpone matches.

The women’s doubles semifinal between Sam Stosur and Rennae Stubbs, and Cara Black and Liezel Huber was moved to Saturday. While breaks in the drizzle Friday allowed for some attempts to dry the courts, conditions were never near being playable.

“It’s such a light mist the radar can’t even pick it up, but it’s still unplayable,” US Tennis Association spokesman Chris Widmaier said.

    What a horrible day !!!
    I’ve been checking the USO website all day long hoping for some good news but nothing happened :(
    Even if you get used to these kinds of conditions, this day must have been very long for you girls !!!
    I know you’re supposed to play on Armstrong tomorrow so fingers crossed weatherwise and good luck :)

    DAMMIT! Of all days for it to rain! Must have been a horrible wait for all the players :/. C’mon Tennis Gods, stop the rain and let everyone play.

    *Sigh* What horrible timing for the rain to come. If only it came an hour later or something, then at least you’ll be done with your doubles match :(. I hope the momentum will still be with you and Stubbsy when play finally resumes, Sam. Good luck!

    I’m so sad and disappointed :(
    I didn’t have any images so hard to say what happened today against Black/Huber.
    You started this match so well yesterday, I guess you lost the momentum with the rain interruption or maybe the 1st seeded were just too good today !!!
    C’mon Stubbsur, I’m sure you’ll get this first title together soon :)
