My money has Murray making it to the final, and I hope Roger can make it through for a rematch of last year.
The big story though so far, has to be the 17 year old American, Melanie Oudin. After defeating Elena Dementieva (4) in a 3 set battle, she has gone on to do the same against Sharapova (29), and Petrova (13).
In all three of her matches, she dropped the first set, but has gone onto to win in fantastic 3 set matches. She becomes the youngest American to enter the quarter finals of the US open, since Serena Williams did it 10 years ago.
All in all, a wicked week of tennis so far, and it's shaping up to be another great week once again.
Lets go Federer!

Oops! 24 hours after you post this thread, Murray loses in the 4th round to Cilic.
I know i'm jumping ahead, but the Del Potro/Nadal semifinal match should be really good. Whoever wins that I think will lose to Federer in the finals.
