Rain delayed play till tomorrow

Well, Martina did not play today which means she'll have to pull double duty in the next couple of days. But I'm sure she can handle it. As for the rest well, they were supposedly going to show the match with Mauresmo as well as James Blake (if it stopped raining).

But I don't think it happened, all I kept seeing as I flipped the channel was the Andre Agassi/James Blake quarter final match from 2005. I don't really care if those matches got underway to be honest, by 8pm I was too busy watching Celebrity Duets:D. Lucy Lawless kicked butt!:D (musically of course;).

My guess is though that no one played and everyone will have to finish tomorrow.

C'est La Vie.

More rain at the U.S. Open

Rain delay continues, it stopped for about 45 minutes and play resumed but the rain has returned. I'm trying to stay positive but I don't think this day of play will finish. I think day 2 will carry on to day 3 unfortunately. And it's looking more likely that Martina's match will be moved to tomorrow.

I really hate this every time I'm really looking forward to a match, something always happens. Darn it!. Hopefully some more matches will be played before 7 o'clock this evening, but it's looking very iffy at the moment.

Here we go with another rain delay

Well it was another rain delay today at Flushing Meadows, play was suppose to start at 11am it started around 2:30 pm.

They better not postpone Hingis's match till tomorrow, she has to have a day off just like everyone else. It looks like it might happen though, especially since we have Nadal and Serena playing today. I have a feeling those matches will take forever. Hopefully Martina will have a nice easy opponent.

Oh, and I forgot to mention this last night glad to see Lindsay Davenport back and doing well she made it to her second round yesterday easily.

I never used to like Lindsay when she was at the top, but in recent years she's kind of grown on me so I hope she sticks around at least to take out people like Serena or Sharapova.

And the waiting continues

Geez! it is raining again in Montreal, it stopped for about 45 minutes around 4 o'clock and they were able to finish the semi-final. It will be Anna Ivanovic vs. Hingis but not till the damn rain stops. At this rate I don't think we'll see this match at all today they might as well give up and move it till tomorrow .

I would say if the rain doesn't stop by ten the match will be moved. Darn it! I really wanna see this final especially since these two have never played one another before I wanna know how Hingis handles it. This is turning out to be one frustrating day!.

2nd semi still not started:(

Well the second semi-final between Safina and Ivonovic was scheduled for 11am seeing as it is now 12:40 I guess that's not happening and I guess the final will be pushed back as well. It'll probably be moved to Monday now, although the site says it's still happening Sunday but the time has yet to be confirmed. Rain must still be going down in buckets, this is so frustrating I wanna see this final!.

2nd Rogers Cup Semi-Final postponed due to rain

Well looks like the match between Dinara Safina and Ana Ivanovic will be played Sunday morning at 11:00am. The winner of that match will go on to play Martina Hingis at 1pm the same day.

I think Hingis's chances of winning the title have greatly increased. Because which ever player wins that match they will be quite tired by the time they step on court to play Martina. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this works in Martina's favour and she captures the title without too many problems. Again I can't wait to see her holding the Rogers Cup trophy:D.

All play at Wimbledon officially cancelled till Tuesday

Well Wimbly officials have finally announced they are suspending all matches till tomorrow. I have a feeling this will screw with the schedules of many players. Darn, England rain.


Here is an article confirming the news:

Rain delay first day at Wimbledon

Which is nothing new of course considering it's England and that's pretty much to be expected. All the players played a total of less then an hour, before the rain set in. Martina Hingis is off to a good start she has won the first set 6-2 against Olga Suvchak.

Took a little work to get the set point but she finally got it at set point #5. From what I have read she started off a little shaky but quickly got into the groove after a couple of games. I of course did not get to see Martina play the first 4 points because TSN was covering Federer first.

So I only got to see her play 2 of those 6 games in the first set. Coverage started at 4/2. Oh, well hopefully as the tournament goes on they'll show Martina's matches in their entirety.

For the time being it has stopped raining and tennis officials expect to continue the play today. But it's England so again not holding my breath.

Rain is actually expected for the next 3 days. I hope that's not true or that will really mess up Martina's schedule just like it did at Roland Garros. Hope it doesn't happen the girl needs a break. She's had bad luck at Grand Slams this year I think, well except for Aussie Open.

I'm really excited about Wimbledon this year, Agassi is suppose to play tomorrow and I can't wait haven't seen him play for a long time.

As for Martina well I think she's got a real chance. Her main advantage is the skill she has at the net. Very few players are as good as her at the net. So with her volleying ability and court finesse who knows how far she'll go.

My prediction would be quarter finals again but I also think she could actually make it to the semis. We shell wait and see. Now all I have to do is wait out this dreadful rain lol. Hopefully I'll have some photos of the match later in the day.

Rain delay at Roland Garros

Well, looks like a lot of matches got suspended until Friday due to rain. Including Martina's second round match. And I thought rain delays like these only happened at Wimbledon lol.

Darn it I was so looking forward to it because it was going to be on at a decent time.

Instead of 5am EST. Kim Clijsters match, Dementieva's and Kuznetsova's match were also cancelled. But of course since Justine Henin was one of the first matches out on court she's already through.

Yesterday Venus Williams made it into her 3rd round match as well.

So now Martina is going to have a full plate, since she was going to play mixed doubles tomorrow.

Now she'll have to play mixed doubles plus second round singles. And it gets worse, because of the rain delay she has no day off and plays on Saturday (3rd round match) and Sunday (fourth round match).

That's gonna be quite exhausting, I hope she's able to dispose of her opponents quickly so she can get some rest in between each match.

It'll be a challenge but I wish her all the best, hopefully since she's one of the fittest players on the tour she'll make it through.
