INTERNATIONAL NEWS - The US Open women's semifinals scheduled for Thursday evening have been postponed due to the threat of rain.
Play was scheduled to begin at 7pm ET (2300 GMT) on Thursday with world number one Serena Williams taking on Italian Roberta Vinci.
The delay puts the American's calendar-year grand slam bid on hold.
That match would have been followed by second seed Simona Halep against Flavia Pennetta of Italy.
An action-packed Friday marathon of action will now start at 11am ET with the Halep-Pennetta match, followed by Williams versus Vinci.
The men's semifinals will follow, with world number one Novak Djokovic tacking defending champion Marin Cilic and then an intriguing all-Swiss matchup between five-times US Open winner Roger Federer and French Open champion Stan Wawrinka.
