US OPEN SCENE: Rain comes too late for Sharapova

The rain came too late for Maria Sharapova.


Bounced from the U.S. Open just before a downpour Sunday, Sharapova faced reporters for a news conference that kept getting interrupted by screeching weather warnings going off on reporters' cellphones.


"Is that the flood warning?" Sharapova asked.


"Darn it. If I was only there a little longer," she said to laughter.


The fifth-seeded Sharapova didn't get a break because of the weather in her 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 loss to 10th-seeded Caroline Wozniacki but other players did. The heavy rain and lightning forced the first suspension of play so far in the tournament.

He's been absolutely top this season so we'll do everything we can to get him fit for Sunday. If he's not then we'll play without him," he added. Manchester United secured a 1-0 win against Wolves with the help of Juan Mata's strike. Manchester United will take on Liverpool in Premier L...
