Day 1: Feds, Roddick and Davydenko breeze through, as do Serena and Kim Clijsters.
Day 2: Dinara Safina limps into round two, while things look good for Murray as Karlovic and Wawrinka fall at the first.
Day 3: Monfils and Rafa impress, as Federer makes round three, and Kim Clijsters sets up a third-round showdown with Venus Williams.
Day 4: Jelena Jankovic and Elena Dementieva crash out in quick succession, but business as usual as every seed in the men’s draw progresses.
Day 5: Another shock-free day in the men’s draw, but Victoria Azarenka joins the also-rans.
Day 6: Former champs Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick exit, along with sub-par world No.1 Dinara Safina.
Day 7: Nadal marches on despite needing treatment for an abdominal injury, while Clijsters makes a statement with victory over Venus.
Day 8: US interest in the men’s draw ends in the fourth round of the Open for the first time ever, but Melanie Oudin becomes the talk of New York as her Cinderella run continues.
Day 9: A drab performance sees Andy Murray bow out to Marin Cilic, but Clijsters marches on with victory over Na Li.
Day 10: After the shocks of the past few days, all the seeds stay in the hunt.
Day 11: For the first time in the fortnight, the rain falls in New York, cutting off Nadal and Gonzalez with the Spaniard in pain.
Day 12: The rain continues to fall, meaning another Monday finish, but Nadal blitzes Gonzalez to make the semis.
Day 13: Unlucky for Serena, who exited in inglorious fashion after a high-quality display from Kim Clijsters who will meet Caroline Wozniacki in the final, while del Potro blasts past Nadal to make his first US Open final, where he’ll meet Roger Federer, in inspired form to beat Novak Djokovic.
Day 14: A day late, Kim Clijsters completes the ultimate comeback with a second US Open title, and Heather Watson gives Brits something to cheer about in the girl’s event.
Day 15: Serena says sorry before the doubles final, before del Potro stuns Federer and most of the tennis world with a five-set victory for his maiden grand slam title.
