Weary Djokovic sneaks into third round in New York
Flushing Meadows, NY (Sports Network) - In the best match of the tournament thus far, third-seeded Serbian Novak Djokovic outlasted dangerous Czech Radek Stepanek on Friday to reach the third round at the U.S. Open.
Djokovic needed a whopping 4 hours, 44 minutes to stave off the former top-10 performer Stepanek 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (7-5), 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (7-2) at Armstrong Stadium. The gritty Stepanek battled Djokovic every step of the way in one of the closest matches that you could ever see.
The 20-year-old Djokovic, who required treatment for his back and legs on several occasions on Day 5, used 69 winners, including 18 aces, to get past a game Stepanek, who was ranked inside the men's top 10 last year before plummeting outside the top 100 because of neck and back injuries.
The two players combined for 88 unforced errors in the epic encounter, including 45 by the Czech loser. Stepanek also required some treatment during the marathon match, as he was bothered by a left leg problem at one point.
Djokovic ultimately moved into the round of 32 by floating a backhand winner to close out Stepanek.
The world No. 3 Djokovic will meet promising Argentine Juan Martin del Potro here on Sunday.
A flat Marat Safin was ousted from the draw by capable Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka, as the 25th-seeded big Russian suffered a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 setback. The former world No. 1 and two-time major titlist Safin captured the U.S. Open back in 2000 by pasting the legendary Pete Sampras in the final.
Another former No. 1 avoided an upset, as 17th-seeded Spaniard Carlos Moya handled Russian Igor Kunitsyn 6-4, 6-4, 7-5. The veteran Moya is a two-time major finalist, including a French Open title in 1998.
Twentieth-seeded Argentine slugger Juan Ignacio Chela dismissed American Wayne Odesnik 6-3, 6-1, 7-5, while the 6-foot-5 del Potro knocked out 31st-seeded Austrian lefty Jurgen Melzer 6-3, 6-1, 6-4.
One other second-round win came for Latvian Ernests Gulbis.

Kuznetsova, Hingis reach third round at U.S. Open
Flushing Meadows, NY (Sports Network) - Former champions Svetlana Kuznetsova and Martina Hingis were a pair of second-round winners Thursday at the U.S. Open.
The fourth-seeded Kuznetsova, of Russia, got past France's Camille Pin 6-3, 4-6, 6-0 on Day 4 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The two-time major finalist Kuznetsova was the surprise U.S. Open titlist in 2004 and last year's runner-up to Justine Henin at the French Open.
Kuznetsova's third-round opponent will be Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues.
A 16th-seeded Hingis handled France's Pauline Parmentier 6-2, 7-5. The "Swiss Miss" captured the U.S. Open in 1997 and was the runner-up here in 1998 and 1999. The five-time major titlist hasn't captured a major since the '99 Aussie Open.
Sixth-seeded Russian Anna Chakvetadze moved on with a 6-3, 6-4 decision against veteran Aussie Nicole Pratt, while 11th-seeded Swiss Patty Schnyder shut down France's Severine Bremond 6-3, 6-0.

A mild upset came when rising 16-year-old Austrian Tamira Paszek took out 24th-seeded Italian Francesca Schiavone 6-3, 7-5.
Capable Ukrainian Julia Vakulenko whipped Croatian Jelena Kostanic Tosic 6-2, 6-1. Vakulenko, who has already beaten the likes of former world No. 1s Amelie Mauresmo and Kim Clijsters this season, toppled ninth-seeded Slovakian Daniela Hantuchova in the opening round here.

Roddick, Davydenko move on at the Open
Flushing Meadows, NY (Sports Network) - Birthday boy Andy Roddick and fourth- seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko were among Thursday's second-round winners at the 2007 U.S. Open.
Celebrating his 25th birthday, the fifth-seeded Roddick got past an injured Jose Acasuso 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 in 90 minutes at Ashe Stadium, as the Argentine quit after three sets due to a left leg injury that required treatment on a few occasions on Day 4. A hobbled Acasuso uncorked 27 unforced errors before his exit.
Roddick, who fired 12 aces in his three sets against Acasuso, was last year's U.S. Open runner-up to Roger Federer and captured his lone major title here in New York four years ago.
The French Open semifinalist Davydenko dispatched oft-injured German Nicolas Kiefer 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in 1 hour, 45 minutes. The gritty Russian broke Kiefer's serve a whopping six times and will now meet Spaniard Nicolas Almagro here on Saturday.
Ninth-seeded Czech slugger Tomas Berdych breezed into the third round with a 7-5, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Italian Simone Bolelli, while an upset came when Korean Hyung-Taik Lee took out 14th-seeded Argentine Guillermo Canas 7-5, 7-5, 6-3 on the grounds at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
American Donald Young advanced to the round of 32 when his scheduled opponent, 13th-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet, pulled out of their match due to a fever and sore throat. The promising 18-year-old Young, who received a wild card for this particular fortnight, recorded his first career Grand Slam event victory here on Monday. The talented Gasquet was a Wimbledon semifinalist last month.
Nineteenth-seeded Brit Andy Murray needed all five sets to overcome 35-year- old Swede Jonas Bjorkman 5-7, 6-3, 6-1, 4-6, 6-1 on the Grandstand court, while a 28th-seeded Almagro defeated Luis Horna 6-4, 6-2, 2-1, as the Peruvian retired in the third set. Murray recently returned to the tour after being sidelined for several weeks with a wrist injury.
Spain's Fernando Verdasco vaulted past Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-0, 6-4, 6-3, while France's Sebastien Grosjean grounded Belarusian Max Mirnyi 6-4, 6-7 (6-8), 6-4, 6-3 and Spaniard Feliciano Lopez outlasted Russian Igor Andreev 6-7 (3-7), 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5).

Kuznetsova to battle Szavay in Pilot Pen final
New Haven, CT (Sports Network) - Top-seeded Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova got past her countrywoman Elena Dementieva on Friday to reach the final at the $600,000 Pilot Pen Tennis tournament, a final U.S. Open tune-up.
Kuznetsova was leading the sixth-seeded Dementieva 4-6, 6-3, 3-0 in their semifinal on the hardcourts at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale when Dementieva retired due to nausea, amid steamy conditions. The two-time Grand Slam runner-up Dementieva also succumbed to Kuznetsova in the 2004 U.S. Open finale.
Dementieva double-faulted 12 times on Friday.
"I'm just a little sick," Dementieva said. "It was really humid and hot out there."
The 22-year-old Kuznetsova's quarterfinal opponent also retired here, as Kuznetsova was leading Francesca Schiavone when the Italian called it quits on Thursday.
Kuznetsova's final opponent will be Hungarian qualifier Agnes Szavay, who rallied to beat Eleni Daniilidou of Greece, 4-6, 6-1, 7-5 in a semifinal match that went 2 hours, 17 minutes.
The 18-year-old Szavay had advanced to the semis with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Ukraine's Alona Bondarenko, and had never faced Daniilidou coming in.
She's also never battled Kuznetsova, who will appear in her 20th career WTA final and is seeking her ninth overall title. She's a disappointing 0-4 in her 2007 finals thus far after losing in Qatar, Indian Wells, Berlin and Rome.

Henin tops Jankovic in Toronto final
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Justine Henin captured her second career Rogers Masters title on Sunday with a hard-fought victory over Serbia's Jelena Jankovic.
The top-seeded Belgian needed 2 hours, 18 minutes to earn a 7-6 (7-3), 7-5 triumph on the hardcourts of the Rexall Centre on the campus of York University. She previously won this event in 2003 before capturing her only U.S. Open crown.
Jankovic, the second seed, rallied to beat France's Tatiana Golovin 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 in Saturday night's second semifinal, well after Henin cruised her way in Saturday afternoon with a straight-set victory against Chinese qualifier Yan Zi.
Henin, the world's top-ranked player, tuned up for the U.S. Open with her first event since losing in the semifinals at Wimbledon last month. With the win in Toronto she has also claimed her sixth title of 2007, having already won in Dubai, Doha, Warsaw, Roland Garros and Eastbourne, and the 35th of her brilliant career.
Henin has won all seven lifetime meetings with Jankovic, including five this year. She prevailed in semifinal matchups at Doha, Warsaw and the French Open, while also claiming a quarterfinal at the Berlin Open.
Henin, in addition to her victory at this event in 2003, was also the runner- up two years ago.
A final comprised of the tournament's top two seeds has happened six times over the season's first 41 Tour events.

Federer routs Blake in Cincy for 50th career title
Mason, OH (Sports Network) - Roger Federer breezed past James Blake in straight sets of the Cincinnati Masters final to capture his 50th career ATP singles title.
The Swiss superstar had little trouble defeating the American Blake, winning 6-1, 6-4, to become the fifth-youngest player to reach 50 career wins at 26 years and 11 days. Novak Djokovic denied Federer of the milestone last week in the final at the Montreal Masters.
It is the fifth title in 2007 for Federer, who won the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year. The top-seeded and world No. 1 Federer also captured his second Cincinnati crown, having won here in 2005.
The ninth-seeded Blake fell to 0-7 lifetime against Federer, having lost to the Swiss star in three finals.
Federer pocketed $400,000 for winning, while Blake took home $200,000.
