Linette 4-6 0-0 Jones
We were about to get under way on court five with Britain's Fran Jones set to resume her first-round match against Poland's Magda Linette after it was suspended on Tuesday because of rain.
The players had just finished their warm-ups when it started to rain again, so the match has been delayed further.
Hopefully this rain won't stick around for long...
Fearnely 3-6 3-5 Etcheverry*
Well, that came out of nowhere. Thought I was going mad when both players headed to their chairs at 40-15.
A few hardy souls have stayed in position under umbrellas in the stands but most spectators are dashing for cover.
While we wait, let's recap what's happened so far on day four...
Fearnley 3-6 3-5 Etcheverry*
At 15-all, Tomas Martin Etcheverry finds an ace and then gratefully accepts a forehand error from Jacob Fearnley.
Two set points!
But then... rain.
Fearnley 3-6 3-5 Etcheverry*
Jacob Fearnley is on course for the first love hold of the match but Tomas Martin Etcheverry has other ideas.
He positions himself for a forehand off a wide serve and is duly rewarded, the ball sitting up nicely for him to wallop at shoulder height for a down-the-line winner.
He pulls another point back before Fearnley closes out the hold with an ace.
Linette 4-6 0-0 Jones

Jones won the first set 6-4 before play was halted and is well placed to become the third British woman to reach the second round at Flushing Meadows this year after Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart.
*Fearnley 3-6 2-5 Etcheverry
Jacob Fearnley gifts away 40-15 with a pair of loose forehands but finds more joy when he drags Tomas Martin Etcheverry into the service box with a shorter, angled return.
Etcheverry tries to come into the net on his second game point, is driven back by a looping return, but regains control with some heavy hitting to complete the hold.
Fearnley 3-6 2-4 Etcheverry*
Lusty blows from both players at the back of the court, with Jacob Fearnley coming out on top to build a 40-0 lead.
Tomas Martin Etcheverry pulls a point back but is dragged off court by a wide serve and doesn't even attempt to chase the Brit's backhand winner into the opposite corner.
Choinski 3-6 1-6 6-7 (5-7) Van de Zandschulp
Botic van de Zandschulp gets it!
Jan Choinski gave himself a fighting chance in that last set, but the Dutchman was able to up his level when needed to get the job done in three and secure his place in the second round.
Choinski will have to wait for his first win at an overseas Grand Slam.
*Fearnley 3-6 1-4 Etcheverry
It's a sketchy service game for Tomas Martin Etcheverry, giving up a 40-15 lead in the face of some dogged baseline striking from Jacob Fearnley, but he comes through deuce to hold.
A bit of breathing room for the 27th seed, up a set and a break.
*Choinski 3-6 1-6 6-6 (5-6) Van de Zandschulp
Botic van de Zandschulp has turned things around in the tie-break and he's rewarded with a first match point with a one-two punch off a wide serve.
*Choinski 3-6 1-6 6-6 (4-4) Van de Zandschulp
Jan Choinski is on a roll from the baseline as he opens up a 4-1 lead, but Botic van de Zandschulp closes the gap with the help of an overhead winner and a poor Choinski miss. 4-4.
Fearnley 3-6 1-3 Etcheverry*
A second break of the set for Tomas Martin Etcheverry.
At 15-40, Jacob Fearnley comes into the net. Etcheverry lofts up a forehand lob and the back-tracking Brit puts his backhand overhead into the base of the net. I haven't seen the replay but I think that lob might have been drifting into the tramlines...
*Choinski 3-6 1-6 6-6 (3-1) Van de Zandschulp
A superb first-serve return from Jan Choinski puts Botic van de Zandschulp on the backfoot and he can't recover the point.
He gets the next one before forces another miss from the Dutchman with a series of blazing backhands.
Choinski 3-6 1-6 6-6 (1-0) Van de Zandschulp*
The ball pops up nicely for Jan Choinski off the net and he takes control of the rally, which eventually comes to an end when Botic van de Zandschulp shanks a forehand wide.
*Fearnley 3-6 1-2 Etcheverry
How many times has Jacob Fearnley failed to locate the baseline with a simple forehand? 0-30.
Double fault. Cover your eyes. 0-40.
*Choinski 3-6 1-6 6-6 (0-0) Van de Zandschulp
Botic van de Zandschulp holds serve and that means we're going to a tie-break.
Still all to play for Jan Choinski, who has battled hard in this third set to keep his chances alive.
*Fearnley 3-6 1-2 Etcheverry
Aaaaaand we're back on serve in the second set (although for how long is anyone's guess).
Tomas Martin Etcheverry tries the Woodforde, rushing the net, but is beaten on his backhand side by a pinpoint pass.

Ace. Double fault. Rather sums up this match.
The pair trade points for 30-all before Tomas Martin Etcheverry nets a routine forehand.
Break point!
Choinski 3-6 1-6 6-5 Van de Zandschulp*
Good work from Jan Choinski as he hammers home a couple of huge serves, along with a deft sliced volley at net.
He will - at the worst - face a tie-break for this third set.
Fearnley 3-6 0-2 Etcheverry*
Vocal frustration from Jacob Fearnley as he wastes advantage with a loose backhand.
But in the end, he's a little unlucky to be broken, with an unhelpful net cord pinging his forehand into the tramlines.
It's starting to feel like a long way back for Fearnley...
