2010 U.S. Open Day 3 Recap: Down Goes Andy Roddick, On Go Venus Williams, Kim Clijsters, Andy Murray, And John Isner

Highlights from Day 3 of the 2010 U.S. Open:

•  Janko Tipsarevic def. (9) Andy Roddick, 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4).
it was almost perfect. A primetime match, Roddick yelling at the officials -- only he lost. America's Actual Sweetheart is out in the second round for the first time in his career, and it's now up to No. 17 Gael Monfils to set things right.

•  (2) Kim Clijsters def. Sally Peers, 6-2, 6-1.
And she made it look easy, too, in a blue Fila number that perfectly set off her dead, staring killer shark eyes. Next victim: Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic.

•  (3) Venus Williams def. Rebecca Marino, 7-6, 6-3.
Wind was a factor early on, but Venus settled down to play nearly error-free tennis, and will face Mandy Minella of Luxembourg in the third round.

•  Gisela Dulko def. (10) Victoria Azarenka (Withdrew)
Azarenka trailed 5-1 in the first set when she collapsed on the court, and has since been hospitalized and released.

•  (4) Andy Murray def. Lukas Lacko, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.
The lanky Brit made short work of this match, and will now meet awesomely-coiffed newcomer Dustin Brown of Jamaica.

•  Michael Llodra def. (7) Tomas Berdych, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Berdych can take heart that his defeat was very shortly overshadowed by Roddick's ousting. For Llodra's part, he moves on to Romania's Victor Hanescu.

•  (18) John Isner def. Frederico Gil, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4.
Largely on autopilot, Isner kept this one under two hours despite playing on a recently-injured ankle, and rolls on to Marco Chiudinelli of Switzerland. (Also, has anyone else noticed the weird facial resemblance Isner bears to Roddick? If you're having trouble telling them apart at a glance, please note that Isner's the one still in the tournament.)

•  (29) Alona Bondarenko def. Melanie Oudin, 6-2, 5-7.
That'll do it for America's other sweetheart and her sweet kicks. The temperamental Bondarenko has a third-round date with No. 6 Francesca Schiavone.

•  (20) Sam Querrey def. Bradley Klahn, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5, 6-4.
A Klahn groin shot was the unfortunate highlight of this choppy, uneven match. Next up for Querrey: Spain's Marcel Granollers.

•  Ana Ivanovic def. (21) Jie Zheng, 6-3, 6-0.
Ivanovic's post-injury comeback is going quite well at Flushing Meadows. Her next hurdle is France's Virginie Razzano, who herself upset 13th-seeded countrywoman Marion Bartoli.

•  Ryan Harrison def. (15) Ivan Ljubicic, 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 6-3, 6-4.
Here's a kid to keep your eye on. You may have seen him serving as Melanie Oudin's doubles partner, but this is 18-year-old Ryan Harrison's singles debut at the Open. His second-round foe will be Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky.
