The U.S. Open women's final has been delayed until Sunday, perhaps it will be Super Sunday.
Due to the threatening weather that is scheduled for Saturday night, the women's final between Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka has been delayed until Sunday.
Meanwhile, the men's U.S. Open semifinal with Andy Murray and Tomas Berdych began more than an hour late Saturday, after heavy rain and a tornado warning.
A storm hit Flushing Meadows at about 10 a.m., dumping showers that continued past 11 a.m., when Olympic champion Murray and 2010 Wimbledon runner-up Berdych were originally supposed to be on court. The match began at 12:25 p.m. in wind topping 20 mph. Saturday's schedule also included the other men's semifinal, between defending champion Novak Djokovic and fourth-seeded David Ferrer.
During the women's semifinals Friday, it was muggy with temperatures in the 80s, though Williams didn't have to worry much about the weather or anything else, really.
Her 6-1, 6-2 victory over the 10th-seeded Sara Errani of Italy turned out exactly the way pretty much everyone expected. Even Errani, who acknowledged afterward her main goal was pushing the match longer than an hour.
Williams is trying to become the first 30-year-old woman to win the U.S. Open since Martina Navratilova in 1987, compiled a 38-6 edge in winners against Errani. Williams has a 9-1 career record against Azarenka.
Since a surprising exit at the French Open in late May, her only first-round loss in 49 appearances at major tournaments, Williams is 25-1, including a title at Wimbledon and gold medal at the London Olympics.
