After rain interrupted play on Tuesday, the schedule of some players has gotten a little jumbled, but, weather permitting, everything will be back on track following Thursday.

Complete Match Schedule
Here is a full match schedule. Below are the matches that should be the most entertaining.
Matches to Watch
Janko Tipsarevic (8) vs. David Ferrer (4)
These two hardworking veterans are enjoying a career upswing. This is Tipsarevic's first semi in a Grand Slam and it is not surprising he made it this far.
Tipsarevic is 48-18 this season, and he is peaking at the right time. He has won 12 consecutive sets entering this contest. While he is struggling with his service accuracy, he has had double digits in aces in all matches at this tournament but one, and has won at least 77 percent of his service points in each match.
Meanwhile, Ferrer has lost just one set all tournament, and while these two have surprisingly not met in four years, Ferrer leads the head-to-battle 2-1.
The Spaniard has had a great year; he is 56-11 for the season, and will not be held short of the semifinals here.
Prediction: Ferrer in four sets
Juan Marin del Potro (7) vs. Novak Djokovic (2)
With Roger Federer losing, Novak Djokovic became the overwhelming favorite to take home the championship, and he is proving that he should have been all along.
The defending champ has not lost a set in this tournament.
Juan Martin del Potro has not had as easy a time advancing to this point, but he was coming up big with his serves, and his groundstrokes were deadly while ending Andy Roddick's career his last time on the court.
Also, it was Del Potro that knocked Djokovic out of the bronze medal at the Olympics. So he knows how to beat Nole. It's just not going to happen here. The Djoker is playing too good.
Prediction: Djokovic in four sets
John McEnroe, Adam Sandler vs. Jim Courier, Kevin James
I don't know about you, but I think Jim Courier got the short end of this stick. Movie star Kevin James is light on his feet for a big man, but he is a big man.
Not that any of it matters, this will be a good show. McEnroe and Sandler can relive the Mr. Deeds days, and Courier can serve it into Kevin James' back.
We all win.
Prediction: Kevin James' shorts fall off at some point during this match.
