RIO DE JANEIRO -- Rafael Nadal went from being scheduled for a busy-as-can-be Wednesday to a day off at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, thanks to rain that forced postponement of all 26 matches.And now the 14-time Grand Slam champion will need to play three matches on Thursday, instead -- weather permitting, of course.None of the nine courts at the Rio tennis venue has a roof, so near-constant showers on Day 5 of the sport prevented any competition.After slowly whittling and juggling the schedule throughout the afternoon and early evening, organizers finally called off everything about 8+ hours after play originally was supposed to begin.It all creates a logjam of matches in a sport that is meant to wrap up in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.
