US Open 2015: Women's semi-finals postponed because of rain

By BBC News

Serena Williams must wait until Friday to continue her pursuit of a calendar Grand Slam after the women's semi-finals at the US Open were postponed with heavy rain forecast.

The matches will now take place at 11am local time (16:00 BST) on Friday.

Williams will face Roberta Vinci after second seed Simona Halep meets Flavia Pennetta in the other last-four match.

The men's semi-finals will take place after the conclusion of the women's matches at 22:00 BST.

Top seed Novak Djokovic faces defending champion Marin Cilic first, with second seed Roger Federer taking on his fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka in the other match.

The rainy conditions did not prevent the men's doubles semi-finals from going ahead as scheduled on Thursday.

Great Britain's Dom Inglot and his partner Robert Linstedt were beaten 7-5 6-2 by French duo Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert, with Jamie Murray and his partner John Peers due to play their semi later.

Roger Federer & Stan Wawrinka win

Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka will meet in an all-Swiss semi-final at the US Open after impressive wins over Richard Gasquet and Kevin Anderson.

Seventeen-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer did not face a single break point as he beat Frenchman Gasquet 6-3 6-3 6-1 in just 87 minutes.

Wawrinka made almost as short work of Andy Murray's conqueror Kevin Anderson, beating the South African 6-4 6-4 6-0.
