Schedule of play Day 13 (September 12) Rafael Nadal needed 34 minutes to finish off Fernando González in their rain-interrupted quarterfinal, advancing 7–6, 7–6, 6–0 at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. Nadal led 7-6 and 3–2 in a second-set tiebreak when play was called off late Thursday evening. Precipitation throughout a gloomy Friday rendered play impossible, throwing the schedule into chaos and prompting a resumption on Saturday at noon. Kim Clijsters won an entry into the women's singles final after a dramatic ending to her semifinal against Serena Williams. After losing the first set 4–6, Williams smashed her racquet into the ground, giving her a code violation warning for racquet abuse from the chair umpire. In the second set, down 5–6 (15–30), Williams had a foot fault called on her second serve, giving Clijsters two match points at 15–40. Williams started yelling at the line umpire, who reported to the chair umpire. As a result, she was penalized for another code violation, for unsportsmanlike conduct, meaning a point penalty for Williams, which meant that Clijsters was awarded the match 6–4 7–5 without playing the match point.http://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2009-09-12/200909111252667001796.html Statement from Tournament Referee Brian Earley September 13, 2009 USOpen.org dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090914233101/http://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2009-09-12/200909111252667001796.html September 14, 2009 Williams later admitted that she was "pretty sure" she did foot fault.http://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/match_reports/2009-09-13/200909131252819557531.html Clijsters' comeback continues after Williams loses cool September 13, 2009 USOpen.org dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090914221101/http://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/match_reports/2009-09-13/200909131252819557531.html September 14, 2009 After securing her thirteenth straight win at the US Open, Clijsters went on to play Danish youngster Caroline Wozniacki in the final, who beat her unseeded opponent Yanina Wickmayer 6–3 6–3.http://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/match_reports/2009-09-12/200909121252729301093.html Wozniacki advances to first career Grand Slam final September 13, 2009 USOpen.org dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090914221052/http://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/match_reports/2009-09-12/200909121252729301093.html September 14, 2009 Seeded players out Men's Singles: CHI Fernando González Women's Singles: USA Serena Williams Schedule of play Matches on main courtshttp://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/schedule/schedule19.html Day 13 Schedule September 12, 2009 USOpenMatches on Arthur Ashe Stadium Event Winner Loser Score Men's singles – Quarterfinals ESP Rafael Nadal [3] CHI Fernando González [11] 7–6(4), 7–6(2), 6–0 Women's singles – Semifinals BEL Kim Clijsters [WC] USA Serena Williams [2] 6–4, 7–5Matches on Louis Armstrong Stadium Event Winner Loser Score Women's singles – Semifinals DEN Caroline Wozniacki [9] BEL Yanina Wickmayer 6–3, 6–3Colored background indicates a night match Day 14 (September 13) In the first match, Juan Martín del Potro defeated third-ranked Rafael Nadal easily, winning 6–2, 6–2, 6-2 and became the first finalist of the men's singles tournament. Del Potro's convincing victory, which echoed Caroline Wozniacki's takedown of crowd favorite Melanie Oudin in the quarterfinals, set the twenty-year-old Argentine up for his first Grand Slam final. In the second semifinal of the women's doubles championship Cara Black and Liezel Huber defeated Samantha Stosur and Rennae Stubbs in three sets and they became finalist of the championship to defend which they got in 2008. Lukáš Dlouhý and Leander Paes won the men's doubles defeating Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles also in three sets. Del Potro's opponent in the men's championship match was decided in a contest between world number one Roger Federer and fourth-ranked Novak Djokovic, who lost to Federer in the final of the 2007 U.S. Open. Federer dispatched his opponent in straight sets, winning 7-6(3), 7–5, 7–5, to round out the final two players remaining from an original draw of 128 men's professional tennis players. In the women's final, unranked Kim Clijsters capped off an impressive return to professional tennis with a win over ninth seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark, winning 7–5, 6–3, for her second Grand Slam title.
