I expect very little play tomorrow as today and here is just 1 link you can see the weather forecast for yourself there are a lot more local links and weather channels but just to get give you a general idea of what all the weather reports are over the next week here it is. Not looking good at all.

Washout. May as well start the second week again as if we never started. Buy a roof you money-grubbing cheapskates!

I've seen a junior event at Bognor Regis conducted with more professionalism than this shower of a tournament.


"Whoop, whoop, high five, get in the hole..............it's break time"

Annoying ad for 15 secs or so beforehand but even more annoying is the forecast for today

Players talking of a strike as of health and safety.Every year this tournament runs into the third monday yet still no roof.

Why should they have a roof? It's supposed to be an outdoor tournament.

so why they not playing they should play then

Well at the moment we'd just settle for it being a tournament, Jimmy, outdoor or not. The roof wouldn't be fixed, you understand?  But it would be nice to be able to pull down the shutters to fend off the rain. After all, this'll be the fourth year in a row that the end has been delayed by a day or more, so there's clearly a need for a roof.

its an outdoor tournament only when sunshine ,lol, it isnt when rains, am i right so r we strict or not, if we r  then no roof and play in the rain.this is just ridiculous thought

only 5.34 but

RAINING ALL NIGHT AND EXPECTED TO CONTINUE!!

I LOVE IT!!! FINAL WILL BE PLAYED ON SUNDAY FOR SURE... but on sunday 18th!!!

It is somehwhat ironic that Wimbledon has the stuffy old image and USA are all gun ho and "GO FOR IT" culture. But when it comes to forward thinking and investing in the future of a GS, Wimbledon found the cash and, to be fair, executed the project very well (not forgetting the Ozzies who were the first). US Open seem to be more focussed on short term profit which, in the long run, will kill it. Already its turning into a joke. They should be on the phone to the archetects today to have a decent 2013 event.

PS Having been to the US Open once, I think one of the main issues is the way the main centre court is constructed. Its relatively lightweight in construction and fair more open than Wimbledon, so to cover that area and build new weight bearing pillars is going to be some project, may be better to start from scratch?

The-Special-One

does anyone no the SP odds of Fedrer vs Del Potro in this final they are showing on SKY?

Del Potro went off about 4.1.

Guys! Good news!

Aussie PM Julia Gillard is going to go to the US! This will dry the joint out!

If the US can put a man on the moon they can put an umbrella over a tennis court!

Who was the idiot who decided to build it here in the first place next to airport and it's so badly built like they run out of money I've never seen so many things that have nothing to do with tennis whatsoever on the site

it's a sh it hole

I don´t understand how a moneymaker sport like Tennis can be stoped cause a stupid rain.Can anyone put a roof on top of the court? The players in millions of dollars but nowone pays for something important like a roof top. Just don´t get it...

Mastering weather conditions like wind, heat, humidity is fully part of the pleasure of outdoor tennis. A retractable roof is useful only in case of heavy rains, to allow the tournament to get going a little and give at least something to TV and bettors

no doubt it is the least appealing venue of the big four IMHO, poorly laid out, ugly stadiums, constant smell of fast food, constant talking by the crowd, obviously little protection from the wet,  not very civilised at all,

whats the chances of one the players,just saying enough is enough and suddenly developing a injury to get out of there????

I think at this stage, that is unlikely, jonooooo. However, the players seem to be operating in a pack mentality, so if one player did do that, a few would follow them to the exit straight away imo

lol and JANKO TIPS WINS FIRST EVER GRAND SLAM

women has realised shes on live cam from the link earlier in the thread

Mug

i can see it happening,rafa was SEETHING yesterday and thats putting it lightly mr green,...is there any chance of play today??

i REALLY HOPE today they stop fecking about and play


but according to weather, it will be tough, should be a few games, but there will deffo be suspensions of play again no doubt at all

I know I'll be accused of grumpiness but it's raining in NYC this morning. The forecast is grim. Don't expect the tennis to start on time

Im watching times square web cam it is still raining

Do you people have a life outside grumbling about the weather?

The local forecasts tend to suggest today is a 20% chance of play, improving on Friday, but all the time, a risk of showers and storms

don't wish to be bearer of bad news but...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/hi/uk_reviews/newsid_9584000/9584153.stm

looks bad for today & tommorow..... i'm getting stuck into the FTSE today for my fix.. not

lets all be realistic...i cant see it happenin today,look at web cams in new york....pssing it down with rain

what's the latest a slam has ever run?

US Open needs to plough some of its profits back into a roof. If Wombles can do it surely they can. At least with a roof you can shift the times around and get the tournament moving. This has basically ruined the tournament as all momentum lost and some players will be disadvantaged by the schedule.

weather just in


BROKEN CLOUDS[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

GTFI

IF it rains all day today too then just finish it on the indoor practice courts, film it with their plenty camera men and broadcast the feed to the big screens on the courts for the spectators and most importantly us? Common sense

lashing rain new york...this is not going to happen today...im getting out,take my losses..lesson learned tho...never let americans make decisions

How can you say already there will be no play today ? It's 8am ffs

the forecast...

OK maybe, i'm a bit seething here, 3 days without work it's hard

I've just got an email from God and he tells me it's going to rain for 2 more days. He also explains I should build a large boat or ark with adequate toilet facilities. You know the rest. Form an orderly queue...

Every weather forecast the organisers have put out has been wrong
Rumours have been around that a lot of the retires and pull outs are cause players think it's a s hype hole namely the sod some say rafa iwas close to pulling g'day they wouldn't even let him have time to bandage his hands up one more thing he could be off

Looking at Wunderground radar, it looks like a divine circle without rain is developing around NY.
Not so sure how it will be in a few hours time.

Video news report for new york Thursday - not looking good guys i have to admit

http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/hi/uk_reviews/newsid_9584000/9584153.stm

surely for the love of god they'll rethink the scheduling after this latest shambles. whichever tv company it is which demands super saturday can't be happy that super saturday has hardly ever happened in recent years anyway cos of the weather and similarly monday afternoon final no good for their ad revenue

if the tournament won't do it time for the players to refuse to play unless it's changed.

jeez

when is pennetta playing? Please...

not before 6pm if the rain magically disappears

more realistically...tomorrow

this sucks big time

aaronh ru being serious?

can we at least try and finish nadal and murray today..

got so much money tied up in them..... then like the mug i was, i put money on serena before she was due to play and then the night session got cancelled aswell..

right now ive got so  much money tied in murray, nadal and serena and i cant even take it out...

just a joke....
nothign else to say

i cant remember the US OPEN having any delays last year at all due to rain.....

williamhill offering odds of 2.50 whether US open will have a third week. If those odds are anything to go by then things dont look too good.


Special one have you read? Nadal is furious about playing in wet conditions and has openly stated his disapproval about plaiyng in such hazard conditions. He is heading a player revolt at the moment

2.5 seems decent odds as a third week is almost guaranteed

Yes I would be covering nadal bets if I had any he was vary close to walking g'day like I said and I won't take much for him to do a sod and pi ss off

Yday useless iPad spell check

there is no chance nadal will walk away from a GS, infact there is zero chance any of the top players will walk away......

it just wont happen

play starts at 4.pm

^^^

the amount of times i heard 'paly starts at x time' yesterday........

ile believe it when i see it

no it says on the us open website,  starts 11 local time

Not raining at mo.

ihoot - was the same all day yesterday..........

well lets just hope its on

i have murray to win in 3
ferrer to win
stosur to win
and simon to win

VAMOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS




c u n t s





.

One of Murray's team said it is not raining and the sun is breaking through although they don't know for how long it will last.

Really the US Open should have scheduled a 1030am start- know that is really early, but they cannot rely on the weather to hold out with the forecast suggesting it will be clear between 10-12 in the morning and then showers the rest of the way, getting worse in the evening

Juan is dead on here

get those mug **** out of bed from their 40000k a night hotel and get em on there at 8am

no feckin excuse why they cant those lazy c u n t s

any links for an update of the weather?
any sources? camera's? websites?

etc etc

I've got 6 webcams at different locations in New York....

No rain in any.

cheefs mouse trap

looks dry to me

they need to get the players on court NOWWWWWWWWW before the rain kicks in again

bit of blue sky about too

should have started at 10

its just poor organisation......

if they had brains they would get them out right now and warm them up so they can start by 11 on the dot...

surley the playes are just waiting in the locker room doing f8ck all

No they have been warming up. Ferrer and Murray have been out on Ashe already.

have they....

brilliant.......

where u getting these pics from?

SKY still not showing an coverage of the US open

defo starting at 4

that means 4.15 after all the fannying about getting to the court and warming up. first ball should be hit at 4.

great stuff. on a serious note how long will we get?

They really are clueless pr*cks.  No play for 2 days and they don't try to take advantage of this clear dry spell. No flexibility whatsoever.

Sun peeping through.

the moral of the story is........

weather forecast people cannot be trusted....

mugs on court finally, they could get out earlier and start with real match in 17.00

absoulute c8nts...

mugs just arrived on court now..

wasted a good 15 mins

link o the games because i am not from england and do not have skysports or eurosport...

try sport lemon

What a bunch of f*cking losers the organisers are.  Why ON EARTH would you waste 15 mins right now in good weather.  F*cking idiots.

no sign of simon or isner. crazy

Water coming from UNDER THE COURT. Ferrer v roddick stopped play

Haha

Players gone off

Why has it taken 20 minutes to start Nadal/Muller?

It's called warm up

If play is due to to start at 11am local time why don't the players come out for their knock up at 10.45? Wasting yet more time.

because the organisers are useless c8nts?

Who cares, they are at least playing now!
