USTA League Nationals enters its third weekend tomorrow, and the National Campus in Orlando is being used for the first time. I wrote earlier in the week there was a chance of some Thunderstorms and rain over the weekend, and it appears that forecast has gotten worse.
With a tropical storm in the gulf, the forecast is now for rain on Saturday, perhaps quite a bit, and the rain appears to be coming in on Friday and perhaps hanging around Sunday morning.
I am hearing that the USTA is being proactive to try to get ahead of things by modifying the schedule to play more matches on Friday, and to use no-ad scoring to shorten matches a bit. That will help, but will it be enough to avoid more drastic measures?
I bet all the players are wishing they were in Arizona or California or Las Vegas ...
