Unseeded American Robby Ginepri, who has had some success here -- he made the semis in 2005 - breezed past another American, Amer Delic, in Louis Armstrong. Ginepri had a couple down years but has risen up to No. 61 currently. He also no longer dates Minnie Driver. We're not sure if that's a plus or not.
Jelena Jankovic, who looked strong in her opening-round win, looked the opposite today. The No. 2 seed squeaked by Sweden's Sofia Arvidsson, 6-3, 6-7, 7-5. That means the top two seeds have had scares in the opening days.
The Chinese women's contingent is shining again. Jie Zheng, who was a surprise semifinalist at Wimbledon, is into the third round and plays Jankovic next. I smell an upset.
And Na Li, who teamed with Zheng to win bronze in Olympic doubles in their home country, also moved into the third round today.
I'm turning the reins over to Baumbach for the evening. Enjoy.
