August 31, 2008 - The U.S. Open

The second morning starts pretty much the way the first one did - in the lobby of the Waldorf...

The Astoria Clock.

Back at Flushing, Davydenko battles...

Tursunov.

Davydenko hits a groundstroke in what turned out to be a good match.

They hit serves in the mid 130s. Amazing.

Some skywriters amuse the crowds.

Davydenko wins in straight sets.

Next up, Bammer (milf) takes on Bartoli in a great match!

We watch from shady seats in Louis Armstrong (until the sun finally caught up with us).

Bartoli has a strange backswing...

Just checking out Bammer's form...

The competitors shake hands after a long, three-setter.

Bammer prevails.

When the sun starts heating up Louis Armstrong, we find more shade at the Grandstands.

It is the Srebotnik match.

Zoomed out...

#15 Patty Shneider is the competitor.

Hard-fought, as are all of the matches on this day.

Patty serves.

Katarina returns.

Patty is too much for her, but at least it went to three sets...

When evening starts, we head back into Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Elena Dementieva warms up...

China's Li Na (the chick who knocked Venus out of the Olympics) looks like she is about to pee herself a little...

OK, she's ready now...

Pretty serve form, though.

Resting during a changeover.

We take a quick break and check out the action at Louis Armstrong, since we can look down at it.

Back in our nosebleeds at Ashe...

Dementieva wins.

It was interesting, though.
