Federer goes five but survives
Federer marathon finally over. He beats Igor Andreev, 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.
Call him Mr. Upset
Some guy named Gilles Muller just upset fifth-seed Nikolay Davydenko, 4-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-7.
It is not Muller's first big upset in Queens.
Three years ago, he stole Andy Roddick's "mojo" with a first-round upset.

Still Djoking around
Oops. While pondering injectables, I forgot to mention that it took Novak Djokovic five sets to get past No. 15 Tommy Robredo.
Just wondering, if they can have a Juverderm booth at the U.S. Open, why isn't there a Rogaine cart at Giants Stadium?

Free Botox at the Open?
There are two distinct types of women in the world. Those who get nervous when they hear the word "injectables." And those who don't.
Apparently, the U.S. Open has more of the latter than the former as the Juvederm booth outside of Arthur Ashe Stadium has been packed.
For those who are not completely syringe savvy, a spokeswoman at the booth explained that Juvederm is not Botox, though it is made my the same company. Juvederm is a gel that is injected into the the area around the mouth to treat facial wrinkles and folds, such as "parentheses" or what my grandma used to call smile lines.
If this is something you think you'd be into, it is worth the price of a grounds pass just to check out the Juvederm tent, because they are giving away coupons good for two free syringes to those who qualify for treatment. In the New York area, that could be worth up to $1,200.
From 12:30-1:30 p.m. And from 5:30-6:30 p.m. each day there will be doctors onsite to give a free facial consultation. I was invited back to try one....

No Djok
Upset alert: No. 3 Novak Djokovic just dropped first set to No. 15 Tommy Robredo of Spain.

Dementieva advances
Oops. Rumor wrong. Schnyder loses second set, 6-3. Maybe it meant, "Show me the way to the Grand Central."
Pat's tat
First burning question of the morning session?
Does anyone know what the tattoo on Patty Schnyder's right shoulder means?
Schnyder, who lost the first set to Elana Dementieva is hanging tough in the the second. Rumor around Arthur Ashe Stadium is that it stands for tiebreaker. Have yet to confirm.
