Andy Murray's fourth round meeting with Daniel Young was postponed after rain washed out the entire day's play at the US Open at Flushing Meadows, New York.Murray was due to face Young at 11am local time (1600 BST) and was forced to endure a frustrating two and a half hour wait on the indoor practice courts before play was abandoned for the day.
The pair will now meet at 1600 BST, Wednesday, September 7, with a place in the quarter finals at stake.
A statement on the tournament's official website said: "The latest forecast indicates worsening conditions with no projected breaks in the rain through the remainder of the day and into the night. Due to this forecast, the USTA is cancelling the Tuesday, September 6 Day Session (session #17), and the Tuesday, September 6 Night Session (session #18). Play will resume tomorrow, Wednesday, September 7 at 11 a.m. ET, gates open at 10 a.m. ET, weather permitting.
"The USTA's inclement weather policy is now in effect for both the day and night session of Tuesday, September 6."
