Apologies for the quality (or lack thereof) of the live-blog...didn't realize taking pictures/texting/tweeting/live-blogging simultaneously would cause my iPhone battery to die so fast

Venus wins first set tiebreak 7-3....turning phone off so it doesn't die before Nadal/Simon

Just got a bunch of close-ups of Andy Murray...wished him good luck and he said thanks. Nice guy, even if that doesn't always come across on the court

Got close-ups of Caroline Wozniacki...pictures posted to twitter account. Sharapova just took the practice courts...currently waiting for Andy Murray and Richard Gasquet

Just violated my "no autographs" rule...got Soderling's--the destroyer of giants (Nadal at French, Federer at Wimbledon). Gasquet on practice courts now, my second favorite after Andy R. Andy M. also practicing now. Pics at www.twitter.com/DailySunSports

At the practice courts. John McEnroe get in my life

Back to the Open today! Waiting for the shuttle

Ivanovic vs Clijsters, Venus, and Rafa in action tomorrow day session

Wish I had tickets to tonight's night session on Ashe...Blake/Djokovic in action, should be a good one

Fed when asked in his on-court post-match interview what his new coach has brought to the table: "Not food"

Mathieu showed flashes of brilliance and came up with several amazing passing shots but wasn't enough to derail the Fed-Express

Federer rolls over Mathieu in straight sets...serving for the match at 5-3 in the third Fed faces triple break point but his serve helps bail him out

Sharapova double-bagels her young American opponent, who at one point loses her visor, let is called...chair umpire: "That happens again you lose the point." She took off the visor.

Wind def played a big factor in today's matches...4th-seeded Jankovic ousted by 31-seeded Kanepi...Jankovic visibly having trouble with the wind/her serve

Sorry for the lack of updates...phone died about 20 minutes after I sat down in Arthur Ashe

Check out www.twitter.com/DailySunSports for some pictures of Federer practicing

SF and I getting our picture taken with a car in the Mercedes-Benz showroom...me: "Can I sit on it?" ...showroom bouncer: "You may not touch the vehicle."

"Don't let your head get too big, but I actually prefer reading The Sun to The Times" -- my partner in crime for the weekend, SF

All decked out in my Cornell finest: jersey, hat, and knapsack...hoping someone will approach me and mention the Sweet 16

This US Open iPhone app is incredibly useful...Jankovic and Sharapova on Ashe today followed by Federer...will probs skip the women's matches to stake out the practice courts

Breakfast, then taking the shuttle to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center...matches begin at 11 a.m.

I'll also be tweeting updates from the @DailySunSports twitter, and hopefully posting pictures. Follow along: http://twitter.com/DailySunSports

Hopefully this won't happen where I'm sitting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E19D_-h9MIo&feature=youtu.be

Top American seed Andy Roddick may have been bounced in the second round, but that doesn't mean there's a shortage of other story lines worth following.
