Elena Dementieva honoured in Russia

So, this is the real reason why Elena Dementieva lost so early in the US Open.

She was back in Russia to accept the Order of Honour by the Russian Federation presented by President Dmitry Medvedev.

The president is wowed by the medal... I guess.

May I present to you one of Russia's best export...

Ana Ivanovic & Adam Scott hold hands in NYC... but is that a baby bump?

Women's Tennis Blog posted a very interesting photo of Ana Ivanovic and Adam Scott strolling the streets of NYC.

Do you think that is a baby bump Ivanovic is sporting in this picture, or it’s just a bad camera angle?

If the picture is accurate, then it may be sooner than we all think.

Please get a retractable roof...

You can see, I'm asking for it very nicely.

The showers continued at Flushing Meadows and this time nature has forced the postponement of all of Friday’s three scheduled singles matches which also included the suspended quarterfinal match between Rafael Nadal and Fernando Gonzalez.


Also delayed are the two women’s semifinals, one between Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters, the other between Caroline Wozniacki and Yanina Wickmayer.

Clijsters and her husband Brian Lynch wait in the players' lounge at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center for play to commence...

Those three matches were all rescheduled for Saturday and set to have Nadal/Gonzalez begin at noon, followed by Wozniacki/Wickmayer, with Williams/Clijsters slated to start after 8PM.


Assuming the women’s semifinals can be completed Saturday, that final will be moved to Sunday.

If Nadal/Gonzalez finishes Saturday, the men’s semifinals will be Sunday.

This means the men’s final then would be moved from Sunday to Monday.

If you remember last year, the US Open men’s final was played on a Monday for the first time in many years.
