Sony Ericsson Open Order of Play

*all times ET

After all the rain delays in Miami, difficult scheduling has fallen on all the players and the TV broadcasts. Some GTT readers are reporting that the TV broadcasts are delayed on some channels and live on others. Best bet is to DVR everything just in case. Federer and Nadal are playing today and seeing if we will get a Fedal semi-final. That has a weird ring to it…. Happy tennis watching folks.
