Due to the craziness from the bad weather up and down the East Coast, the U.S. Open has experienced weather delays up the wazoo. The finals have been pushed back a day as a result. Today would have been the women’s Semifinals on CBS, but instead, it’s the men’s quarterfinals and two Americans, Andy Roddick and John Isner are participating. Here’s what CBS is saying.
