Inclement weather once again wreaked havoc on play at the 2013 U.S. Open, as the schedule of play had to be drastically shuffled Monday to accommodate a lengthy rainstorm.

Second-seeded Victoria Azarenka saw her fourth-round match against 13th-seeded Ana Ivanovic pushed to Tuesday, with multiple other matches seeing delays and shuffling of court locations. The storm, which was predicted in the weather report, saw the day's schedule get pushed back by four-and-a-half hours.


Once the storm lifted from Flushing Meadows, however, the black clouds seemingly stuck around long enough to hang above Roger Federer's head.

The seventh-seeded Swiss star suffered his fourth early ouster of the 2013 Grand Slam season, losing in straight sets to No. 19 seed Tommy Robredo. This is the first time since 2002 that Federer has gone an entire campaign without reaching a Grand Slam final.



For the other top players in the field, Monday was merely about avoiding sharing a Federer-like fate.

Rafael Nadal battled back from an opening-set loss to No. 22 seed Philipp Kohlschreiber to advance to the quarterfinals, and fourth-seeded David Ferrer slogged through a four-set war versus Janko Tipsarevic.

The women's side was noticeably light on top-ranked players. Tenth-seeded Roberta Vinci was the highest-ranked player in action Monday afternoon. She defeated fellow Italian Camila Giorgi in straight sets to advance to her second consecutive U.S. Open quarterfinals.

Countrywoman Flavia Pennetta's surprising run through the event also continued, as she defeated her third straight seeded player in Simona Halep to advance. 

With play finally concluded for the night, let's check in on the day's most notable results.
