Tgsgirl on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A56735922)“How about a word for the Battle of the Belgians At stake between Clijsters and Flipkens: a fourth-round match, most likely against Venus Williams; $175,000; 280 WTA points and - most importantly - a keg. After the US Open, in the town of the winner and to be paid by the winner.”
**1706: ** A routine victory from what could have been a tricky second-round match for 10th seed Flavia Pennetta, who cleans up Canada’s Aleksandra Wozniak 6-1 6-1. Not so good for two men’s seeds right now - both Juan Carlos Ferrero (24th) and Serbia’s Viktor Troicki have lost their respective first sets 6-1. Troicki has been outplayed by Julien Benneteau, who could set up an all-French third-round encounter against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
**1655: **So how has Andy Murray been preparing for his second round match against his unheralded Chilean opponent Um, fiddling with his Fantasy Football team. “I’ve just transferred in Nicolas Anelka,” Murray toldRadio 5 live on Thursday,which is more than Chelsea can do right now. Murray also unveils the term “Rossing” - to copy or to cheat other players’ teams to gain an advantage, a thinly veiled jibe at close friend Ross Hutchings’ underhand team tactics. And just for no4chelseafan on 606, it’s time to unleash the Brits on the up graphic.
5 live’s tennis team tweeting from Flushing Meadows:](http://twitter.com/5livetennis)“Tennis beauty parade in Raffles Cafe this morning… Davydenko and Stepanek enjoying some waffles…”
**1648: ** Tsonga makes the decisive break on Nieminen’s serve to take the first set 7-5 on the Grandstand. Women’s 22nd seed Daniela Hantuchova is a break up against Vania King, hope to reach the third round of a grand slam for the first time in career. She’ll need to up her game a notch if she wants to overcome the lithe Slovakian favourite.
**G, London, text 81111: **“Flavia is making us happy, even making us forget about Berlusconi and the credit crunch… We are proud of her, she is the first Italian to reach the top 10 - go Flavia!”
**1633: ** Potential Upset O’Clock over on court 13 as 24th seed and arch Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero finds himself 4-1 down against Germany’s Philipp Petzschner, while Flavia Pennetta confidently takes the first set 6-1 against Aleksandra Wozniak.

1622: Another glorious late summer’s day in New York as Flavia Pennetta makes an early break to lead Aleksandra Wozniak 4-1 on Louis Armstrong. This is very much a two-way service, so let’s have your news and views via the606 website,](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A56735922)or via text 81111. And you can follow the BBC Radio 5 live team at Flushing Meadow onTwitter.**1615: **Jarkko Nieminen drills a vicious double-handed backhand down the line as Tsonga’s second serve kicks up off the hard surface, but the big-haired Frenchman holds on to his serve to take a 2-1 lead in the match, which has featured eight outright winners already. **1609: **Everyone’s favourite Scot (sorry Midge Ure fans) Andy Murray is back in action today after pasting Latvia’s Ernests Gulbis 7-5 6-3 7-5 on Wednesday. The world number two takes on Chile’s Paul Capdeville at about 1930ish at the Arthur Ashe stadium once defending women’s champion Serena Williams and Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez finish their match, scheduled to start about 1800. In the meantime, Slovakia’s 22nd seed Daniela Hantuchova takes on home player Vania King while 10th seed Flavia Pennetta faces a tricky second-round tie against Aleksandra Wozniak, the Canadian who impressed at the AEGON International in Eastbourne in June. In the world of men, seventh seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga plays Finland’s Jarkko Nieminen on the Louis Armstrong Stadium. **1604: **Afternoon team tennis, so after a bad day for the top women’s seeds on Thursday, with the demise of Elena Dementieva and Jelena Jankovic, will Friday be equally as brutal to the world’s best in Queens I have absolutely no idea, nor will I be drawn on predicting any results as they’ll only come back and slap me around the face like a wet halibut.This article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
