Australia's Sam Stosur is through to the round of 16, but it took a record-breaking marathon clash against Russia's Nadia
Petrova to get Stosur through. In the longest womens singles match at the US Open in the open era, a 3 hour and 16
minute epic saw Stosur take the first set in a tiebreak before going down in similar circumstances in the second. But Stosur
got the decisive break in the 12th game of the final set to wrap up a hard-fought victory.
The upset of the day saw the departure of womens' third seed Maria Sharapova. The big-shrieking Russian fell over to
giant-killing Italian Flavia Pennetta in a three-set contest.
On the mens' side of the draw, British fourth seed Andy Murray was in all sorts of trouble against Dutchman Robin Haase,
dropping the first two sets. But, although Haase had Murray on the ropes, he was unable to deliver the knockout blow; and
Murray would breeze through the three remaining sets to take the match in the maximum distance.
Stanislas Wawrinka departed the tournament, going down in an epic five-setter to Donald Yound. But no such worries for
second seed Rafael Nadal, who was gifted an easy day when Nicolas Mahut was injured and forced to withdraw after two
sets.
