Two recent title winners Stanislas Wawrinka (Chennai) and Robin Soderling (Brisbane) hit together on Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne today, escaping the rain the city has been having. Wawrinka tweeted:

Optimistic that “passing showers,” meant there would still be tennis to watch, we made our way to the National Tennis Center to watch the US Open Men’s Final. Well, we did see a final, but not the one we thought we would.
We watched young American Jack Sock defeat fellow American Denis Kudla 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, [...]

Caroline Wozniacki against Svetlana Kuznetsova was the only match to begin before the downpour. Wozniacki went up 2-0 before the duo were walked off the court [...]
The fascinating picture above was after the rain poured at the William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center, where the Legg Mason Tennis Classic is hosted.
Legg Mason Tennis took to its Twitter account to thank the Facilities Manager and operations staff that got the courts cleaned up and ready for third-round matches to resume. The order of [...]
