Rain forces shake-up at US Open

The rain that caused a logjam of matches over the last three days at the US Open has forced tournament officials to totally revamp the schedule, adding an unprecedented Friday night session.

Due to steady rain that has soaked the USTA National Tennis Center since Monday, USTA president Arlen Kantarian emerged from a two-and-a-half-hour meeting and announced the sweeping schedule changes for the next few days.
