After 20 minutes of talk, highlight packages and that creepy dude from American Idol singing "God Bless America", we're finally underway at the U.S. Open in the men's final between No. 1 seed and five-time defending champion Roger Federer and No. 6 seed Juan Martin del Potro.
Federer held his opening service game with ease and broke del Potro after the Argentine struggled with his his first serve. The winning point of the second game came after a thrilling rally that was capped by a lunging cross-court winner from Federer.
It's a disconcerting start for del Potro, who looked very tight in his first Grand Slam final appearance.
