Rain strikes N.Y. for second straight day, ruins schedule

Rain came to the courts of Flushing Meadows on Friday for the second straight day, as No. 2 seed Serena Williams and wildcard Kim Clijsters could not start their semifinal match, nor could Yanina Wickmayer and No. 9 seed Caroline Wozniacki.

The entire schedule had to be rescheduled until the next day, Saturday, as players hope to start their matches for a final berth into the last Grand Slam of the season.

On Saturday on Arthur Ashe, first up will be a men's match, then the men's doubles final, then Wickmayer and Wozniacki will take the stage (this match has a possibility of being moved to Louis Armstrong Stadium), and last of all Williams will challenge Clijsters.

Let's hope there won't be any more rain throughout the remainder of the tournament, even though weather forecasts aren't looking good.
