Andy Murray already secured a spot in that match with a four-set victory over Tomas Berdych earlier in the day.

It has been raining on and off at Flushing Meadows on Saturday, and with the women's final scheduled for the evening, officials didn't want a weather-interrupted marathon match that went into the early morning.
