US Open Labor Day night session

[Bill Clay]

I just got a ticket to the night session on Labor Day. I know it's impossible to know for sure how the schedule will play out, but assuming Rafa and Roger are both still alive for the 4th round, do I have a pretty good chance of seeing one of them that night? I would think that the marquee players always play at Arthur Ashe under the lights, but I wasn't positive.

Usually marquee players play under the lights - except on Labor Day weekend. CBS covers the day matches during that weekend & they want the big names during their coverage.

Its already been detemined which half plays that day though, it will be Nadal's half.

And looking at that half, Blake is the only other big name in it, so I'm pretty sure they will both be on Ashe during the day session(4th round) that day. CBS wants 2 mens matches on Ashe that day, & I can't see them willing to let either Blake or Nadal to be put at night that day.

My guess is that you will see Andy Murray play that night(if he's still in the tournament)

I agree that CBS should put on Nadal during the day and I hope they (I have good Day tickets)...however, Fed played at Night last Labor Day and Blake and Roddick played during the day.

SO WE DON't KNOW...DOES ANYONE ELSE KNOW
