1747: Much as I like the man end enjoy his tennis, this is a very, very poor effort from Gonzo. He drops serve again with a bizarre attempted half-volley after finding himself stranded in the middle of the court and Nadal will serve for the match.

1743: Gonzalez can barely keep it in court at the moment, whereas Nadal looks sharp. He gets to 40-0 and plays a deft drop shot for 7-6 7-6 4-0.

1740: Gonzo is getting some strapping changed on his left foot, which might allow the rain to delay proceedings again. "It was dry all morning and now the rain arrives," says Jonathan Overend on 5 live sports extra. "We should have been here at 10am. Gonzalez has played badly for 20 minutes and now he's having his strapping completely replaced. Come on Gonzalez, if you don't want to play let Nadal take his place in the semi-finals. It's absurd."

5 live's Steve Rudge tweeting from Flushing Meadows: "Nadal v Gonzalez on BBC 5live SportsExtra now - better be quick it could be over very shortly."

1735: Nadal earns another break point but lets Gonzalez off the hook when he nets a second-serve return. No matter, another break point arrives soon enough and Gonzo goes for a ridiculous forehand drive volley that he frames into the stands. This one is almost over, only the few spots of rain can save Gonzalez now. He trails 7-6 7-6 3-0.

1732: A beautiful backhand winner gets Gonzo off on the right foot but when he floats a sliced backhand wide it's game point for Rafa. The Spaniard comes into the net but Gonzalez easily picks up a drop volley and puts away the backhand for deuce. Nadal takes the initiative with a vicious forehand that sets up the simple volley, and Gonzo nets to hand over the game. Nadal leads 7-6 7-6 2-0.

1725: Gonzalez is in big trouble when he slips to 0-30 and after managing to level, he double-faults to give Nadal a break point. A big serve averts the danger but we then get another double-fault and a trademark racquet smash from the Chilean. He trails 7-6 7-6 1-0. Oh dear.

1719: A disastrous start for Gonzalez, who misses three successive forehands to put Nadal 6-2 up, and the Spaniard takes his first set point. After waiting around for best part of a day and a half, Gonzio might have blown it within three minutes. Nadal leads 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-2).

1716: So we're off.. Gonzo serving at 3-2 down in the tie-break.

1712: I'm still here. After day 12 was washed out, I return from a day off to find that precisely nothing has changed. Rafael Nadal still leads Fernando Gonzalez by one set to love and is on serve at 3-2 in the second set tie-break in the last of the men's quarter-finals. Pam Shriver's favourite Belgian, Yanina Wickmayer, is due to take on Caroline Wozniacki in the first women's semi, before Kim Clijsters plays Serena Williams at 0100 BST. Weather permitting.

5 live's Jonathan Overend tweeting from Flushing Meadows: "US Open getting a lot of grief for scheduling. It's been dry here all morning so fingers crossed. Very cloudy though, Rafa v Gonzo 1st."
