NEW YORK, N.Y. - The U.S. Open women's singles final has been postponed until Sunday because of rain in the forecast.

The match between Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka was originally scheduled for late Saturday, when the National Weather Service is predicting an 80 per cent chance of rain. Tournament officials will announce Sunday's match time by 2300 GMT Saturday.

The men's semifinals started more than an hour late on Saturday because of rain.
