The U.S. Open, after hearing criticism from Andy Roddick and defending champion Rafael Nadal about a schedule that might involve playing four matches in four days, announced that the men’s final will now be Monday at 1 p.m. PDT. This is the fourth year in a row the men’s final will end a day late.

The rest of the remaining schedule has changed as well.

Friday will have the two remaining men’s quarterfinal matches: Nadal against Roddick and fourth-seeded Andy Murray against a second American, John Isner.
