There was some real drama brewing near the bottom of the Nadal draw in tonight's U.S. Open play, where Argentina's David Nalbandian took his sweet time knocking off South African qualifier Rik De Voest, 7-6 (7-4), 3-6, 6-4, 6-7 (6-8), 6-4. Nalbandian's precise net play finally put the match to rest just short of the four-hour mark. The 31-seed will play France's Florent Serra in the second round.
