Yesterday was my first day in Cinci! on my arrival the day before at cinci aiport you can understand it is a big event if you are welcomed by a big billboard with the tournament on it!
Today the rain stopped play for a few hours and as the court crew was having a chat and on standby to cover the courts I was witnessing something that I have not seen all week!
Why can not all grand slams have a tennis free Sunday? It is a must because it also creates so many great matches at one time and for all spectators to have at least a chance to see some great tennis!
Rain stopped play yesterday and today play was prevented from starting on the outside courts not until around 2 pm! However on center court the Roof was on and play started on time!
Day 2 started the same way as it did yesterday! However except for one big difference! The sun was out and the temperature was much higher than yesterday!
