US OPEN: Day 5 and 6

On Day 5 Venus and Serena both won their third round matches, setting up a 4th round clash between the sisters on Sunday afternoon for a chance to play Clijsters in the quarter-final. I suspect Clijsters will be making it to the semi-final here. Another good match

Day 6's highlight was James Blake's convincing victory over World #2 Rafael Nadal. The score was 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, with 4 sets of thrilling tennis.

On the women's side, the results have followed the seeding, except for Myskina losing to Likhovtseva. Somehow, Dementieva is still in the tournament, winning a final set tiebreaker against Chakvetadze. However, she's in Davenport's quarter of the draw, so it's doubtful she'll even get past her 4th round match against Schnyder.

Other good looking 4th round matches are Sharapova vs Mirza and Henin-Hardenne vs Pierce.
