BTW, about the weather...

We're going to go right ahead and jinx the U.S. Open and say it:

What great weather we've had!

But the question is: how long will it last?

Early reports for this weekend call for rain on Saturday, a result of Hurricane Hannah, and this scenario presents the worst nightmare for tournament directors. The final Saturday is historically the best day of the tournament; it's the day the women's final is played, as well the men's semifinals.

A rainout on Saturday would push the tournament back a day, forcing the men's final to take place on Monday. Oh well.
