I saw the schedule for Tuesday and wondered why mixed doubles will be played instead of ladies singles on Ashe stadium at nite. P. Mcenroe reported it will rain all day and nite tomorrow. 90% chance according to weather.com.
The New York weather forecast doesn't look good on Wednesday and Thursday either.
If true, this will make a huge mess of the schedule for the remainder of the tournament.
Come on now, Bud. We all now that it's becoming a US Open tradition that the second week of the tournament has countless rain delays

It makes you wonder why the hell the USTA built Arthur Ashe stadium in the first place, or at least the way it was designed. What was wrong with Louis Armstrong stadium when it still had the upper deck of 1978-1996? Arthur Ashe stadium is a logistical nightmare in terms of building a roof.
They decided to have the pro surfing tournament in September this year in ny because of the extreme likelihood of storms and hurricanes. Us open should be played in august early
Maximize viewers.On a side note why do they start matches at 11 a.m.? Perhaps if they started at 9 a.m. they wouldn't run into the issue of having the day session spill over into the night session and having the 2nd night match start near midnight
Can we put a roof in there tomorrow am ??
Yeah totally. I think the US Open officials are hard at work on manufacturing a gigantic umbrella that they will place over Arthur Ashe stadium tomorrow morning so that they can proceed with their scheduled matches.
Can't they relocate somewhere else because it looks bad nearly all week
Lets pray for good weather.
They have those new inflatable roof tops that they can put on. It is expensive but possible.
If only the globe were a bit more warm...
Headed there now....... I wouldnt be surprised to see 5 *******s sew their underwear together to cover the Ashe stadium just so Ralph can play.
Yeah, surely there must be an indoor 20,000-seat tennis stadium close by that all the ticket-holders can get to easily.
I just looked at the weather radar. There may be a window in a couple hours. The storm is making a big counterclockwise swirl which may go north of New York in the afternoon. There's still more coming up from the south but I think they can get several hours in today. If New York would be 100 miles to the west, the whole day would be a washout.
The US Open consistently proves itself to be the most poorly organized of all the slams.

Can't help the weather!
