NEW YORK (AP) — Serena
Williams will have to wait
before continuing her bid
for a calendar-year Grand
Slam: Her U.S. Open semi-
final was postponed be-
cause of rain in the fore-
cast.
The top-seeded Williams
was supposed to face
43rd-ranked Roberta Vinci
of Italy on Thursday night
at Flushing Meadows, but
nearly four hours before
that match would have
started, the U.S. Tennis As-
sociation — citing a pre-
diction of “rain throughout
the evening” — pushed
back both women’s semi-
finals until Friday.
When the USTA an-
nounced the rescheduling,
there were doubles and ju-
niors matches in progress.
But the rain did eventually
arrive, wiping out play, a
little more than an hour
before Williams and Vinci
were supposed to take
the court. It was drizzling at
7 p.m., when that match
would have started.
