Day 13 review - Saturday 12th September 2009.

Day 13 saw more rain interruptions, but at least the players got on court for at least some of the day;
although the junior matches were moved away from Flushing Meadows to indoor facilities.
The end of the remaining mens quarter final came quickly. Rafael Nadal had taken the first set against
Fernando Gonzalez and the second was in a tie-break when play was suspended on Thursday. But
when the match resumed, Nadal quickly took out the second set tie-break and the third set fell 6-0; Nadal
progressing to the semi final.
Kim Clijsters continued her golden return to tennis, making it all the way through to the final in her
comeback tournament. Serena Williams had no answer to Clijsters, and although the break in each set
took a while in coming, when it came Williams was unable to break back and Clijsters took a straight-
sets victory to move into the final.
Clijsters' opponent in the final will be Caroline Wozniacki, after the 9th seeded Dane had too much class
for Yanina Wickmayer. Wickmayer had played the tournament of her life, and upset some big names, but
her fairytale run would go no further as Wozniacki took a comfortable straight-sets win.
