DRIZZLE … That’s what starts the “R” word (rain) RAIN …RAINING … Yikes its doing it again in Miami. … It’s a mess for fans, players, and the tourney organizers. From the fans point you’ll tend to wait it out a bit…. A certain staffer here once spent 12 hours on a wooden bleacher waiting to see Derrick Rostagno play… It rained. It stopped. Court got mopped. Play began. And so did more rain. In that order all day …
For today the delay will mean a player waiting doesn’t know how much to eat and when. The locker room will be packed. Players dining areas packed. So I covered a fans point. A players point. And a tourney director…. Sorry guys
This was a tennis tournament.... Like no other. This was a U.S. Open like no other.. Let's start with new logo. It's click art like ours? But we aren't the USTA.
The only way to describe this U.S. open is soaking wet without raining... It's really hard to play tennis when your socks are soaking wet and you are "sloshing" in your shoes. Your shoes get really heavy when they get wet.
What a start. First match in the new stadium and bye bye ladies number one seed and WTA World Number One. Simona Halep. Losing to Estonian Kaia Kanepi.
