They’re still in a rain delay at the U.S. Open — because there’s still no roof atop Arthur Ashe Stadium. That’s supposed to be in place for next year’s tournament.
The men’s final between No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 2 Roger Federer was scheduled for a 4 p.m. start. After 2 1/2 hours of rain, everyone is still waiting.
The U.S. Open has a long history of scheduling problems because of weather, including five consecutive men’s finals postponed from Sunday to Monday from 2008-12.
As part of a broader, $500 million-plus renovation plan for the tournament site, the U.S. Tennis Association has been constructing a retractable roof over Ashe, with 2016 the planned date for its debut.
For now, a framework of more than 6,500 tons of steel sits atop that stadium, but the work to install the retractable panels will resume after this year’s tournament ends — whenever that may be.

Dalma Galfi of Hungary won the U.S. Open junior title by beating Sofia Kenin of the United States 7-5, 6-4 on Sunday.
Galfi converted all four break points she had against Kenin, a 16-year-old from Hollywood, Florida.
The 17-year-old Galfi, who was seeded No. 2, is the first Hungarian to win the U.S. Open girls’ trophy since the competition began in 1974.
Other Hungarians to win Grand Slam girls’ singles titles were Aniko Kapros at the 2000 Australian Open and Agnes Szavay at the 2005 French Open.
Galfi won the Wimbledon junior girls’ doubles title with Fanni Stollar of Hungary in July.
