New York, Sep 03: Waiting out the rain delay at the US Open, players hung out in their lounge, played video games and found ways to kill time.
Seventh-seeded Anastasia Myskina of Russia, waiting for a round-of-16 match with Mary Pierce of France, munched on three doughnuts and played cards.
Why the doughnuts, which is not exactly training table food? "I just want a sweet right now, something sweet because the weather is not sweet," she explained.
The card game, played with three others including her coach, is called "stupid". A strange name for a card game.
Myskina explained. "Who lost, they called stupid," Myskina said. "But they cheat, for sure. I have to find out how."
