U.S. Open Results- Day 4

Lately, there is no women's tournament without a major upset, and with the unstability of many of the top female players, the U.S. Open was to be no exception. On Ashe, Melanie Oudin SHOCKED the world by taking out tournament favorite Elena Dementieva in 3 sets. Following Oudin was Jelena Jankovic and Yaroslava Shvedova. The Serb lost the third set tiebreaker dramatically, one adjective the world number 5 never ceases to achieve, to Shvedova. Dinara Safina struggled but advanced while Maria Sharapova put on a dynamite performance to take out 17 year old Christina McHale. Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick, Nikolay Davydenko and Fernando Verdasco all won easily to advance to the third round. Sam Querrey and James Blake each won in four sets to join Roddick and represent the U.S.A.
