Tennis: Rain stops play at US Open

Rain is continuing to delay play at the US tennis Open in New York and it is becoming increasingly likely the tournament will be forced into a third week.

If the skies do clear, the two women's semifinals and the remaining men's quarterfinal will be held simultaneously.

Defending champion Serena Williams and former world number one Kim Clijsters will play on Centre Court.

Fernando Gonzalez and Rafael Nadal are scheduled to play their quarterfinal in Armstrong Stadium and Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer and ninth seed Caroline Wozniacki will play their semifinal on the Grandstand Court.
