NEW YORK — When heavy rain began pelting the closed roof at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Andy Murray couldn’t pick up the usual sounds of a tennis match. “You can’t hear anything, really,” 2012 U.S. Open champion Murray said. Tough to play,” Granollers said. And it’s something the players will deal with and the fans will deal with.”The good news: At least Murray, Granollers and others were able to play. Because of Thursday’s wet weather, action around the grounds was limited until the early evening — but matches kept coming under the roof in Ashe, including Serena Williams’ 6-3, 6-3 victory over American wild-card entry Vania King at night.
