Day 2: Top of the morning to you

Hello from the National Tennis Center for the morning session of the U.S. Open's second day.

I enjoyed my first day here; think I picked up everything I forgot about the game fairly quickly. But, that said, when the U.S. Open's web site just approached me to ask for my thoughts on camera about the matches so far, I was flattered but politely declined. Maybe later in the tournament, perhaps.

This morning/afternoon the biggest names playing first-round matches include: top-seeded Ana Ivanovic, Marat Safin and Serena Williams. We'll do our best to keep up to date with the happenings on, and off, the court.
