Men's quarter-finals postponed

Novak Djokovic's and Roger Federer's US Open quarter-finals have been postponed until tomorrow (Thursday) due to rain.

Bad weather was the cause for no tennis being played yesterday (Tuesday), while Wednesday has seen only a limited amount of action at Flushing Meadows.

World number one Djokovic was scheduled to face fellow Serb Janko Tipsarevic, while Federer should have been competing against the man who defeated him at Wimbledon, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

The postponements come as organisers hope that the remainder of the men's fourth round matches, including Andy Murray's and Rafael Nadal's, can be completed today, although that currently looks unlikely due to the persistent rain.
