Should Arthur Ashe Stadium Have a Roof?
by Amy Eddings
NEW YORK, NY September 11, 2009 —While the Mets were busy getting beat down by the Florida Marlins at Citi-Field last night, across the tracks at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, rain prevented Rafael Nadal and Fernando Gonzalez from finishing their quarterfinal match in the last remaining days of the US Open.
