Ernesto sweeps US Open


Eight-time Grand Slam winner Andre Agassi got an assist from Mother Nature Saturday as his third round match at the US Open was moved back to Sunday.

The rain and strong winds from tropical storm Ernesto wiped out Saturday's schedule without a ball being struck, leaving organisers with no choice but to postpone the matches to Sunday.

They hope to get back on track Sunday as weather forecasters are calling for skies to clear up overnight Saturday and stay dry at least through Monday.
