NEW YORK — Amelie Mauresmo wiped raindrops from her face Tuesday and Lleyton Hewitt nearly skidded into a split as bad weather played havoc with the U.S. Open.

All 64 matches on the schedule were pushed back to today, as was a remembrance of Hurricane Katrina on the one-year anniversary. The forecast called for morning showers.

Only nine matches started, and that was after a 3Z\x-hour rain delay. None of them came close to completion.

The top-seeded Mauresmo won her opening set against unheralded Kristina Barrois 6-1, but was trailing 2-5 in the second when play was halted for a second time. About five hours later, organizers gave up on them resuming.

ATLANTA — Barry Bonds hit his 726th home run Tuesday, pulling within 29 of Hank Aaron's career record.Returning to the city where Hammerin' Hank broke Babe Ruth's mark, Bonds drove a 2-1 pitch from Atlanta's Tim Hudson over the center-field wall, the second of back-to-back homers by the San Francisco Giants in the first inning.
