Well, I'll never know if I could have gotten that cool Roger Federer picture at the 2008 Rogers Cup. He's done for this tournament, and perhaps so am I.
Wednesday's timeline:
8:50 a.m. -- Leave home for tournament.
10:45 a.m. -- Arrive at grounds. It's raining, but lightly enough for me to easily make the one mile-or-so walk from the parking lot to the facility.
11:05 a.m. -- We're officially in a rain delay. It's barely raining. I figure, I'll hang out at the grandstand where the staff has the blowers going, drying the court. These blowers take their time. They could use tarps here. Why don't they cover these courts? At least it's not raining much.
11:45 a.m. -- Off to the stadium court, for no better reason than just to take the walk. Still no play.
11:50 a.m. -- They've started! Ferrer vs. Ginepri. It's 1-1, 30-15 as I head over the Media Seating area in Section 126.
11:51 a.m. -- One point later, and that's it. Rain. The players wait courtside for about 10 minutes before the rain picks up, then they head off.
1:40 p.m. -- It's been pouring for almost two hours, there's no hope in sight on the radar, and I'm on vacation. I'm out of here. Too much day left.
Turns out, much of the remainder of my day was spent driving back. Traffic and weather. Home at 5:15. Of course, play had just resumed as of then. Federer lost his match -- what's wrong with him? -- to Gilles Simon, all but ensuring that I won't head up there today.
Is there any way I can go back in time and work yesterday instead?
