New York, NY —

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. Nadal leads one set to love and 3-2 in the second set tiebreaker, but with rain halting play all day today, and likely tonight and rain forecast through Saturday morning, a legitimate question for US Open officials is, "Should Arthur Ashe Stadium have a roof?"
