US OPEN 2010: Berdych(7), Roddick(9), Azarenka(10) Out
Two big seeds on the Men's side were eliminated from the draw when Andy Roddick and Tomas Berdych lost to Janko Tipsarevic and Michael Llodra, in 4 and 3 sets, respectively.
On the women's side Victoria Azarenka collapsed after trailing 1-5 in the first set against Gisela Dulko. Apparently, she had suffered a fall and hit her head before the match started and felt worse as the match progressed. She left the court in a wheelchair.
Melanie Oudin also lost.
Venus Williams is through to the 3rd Round, where she caught a break when Wimbledon semifinalist Tsvetlana Pironkova lost to unknown Mandy Mienella of Luxembourg.

I am not surprised by any of these upsets(?). I saw Andy lose to Mardy Fish and he did not look well. Berdych is still not mentally strong enough. Oudin is just not that good yet
