As the US Open kicked off, 5th seed Robin Soderling took on Austrian qualifier Andreas Haider-Maurer. Everything looked to
be going to plan with Soderling taking the first two sets, but the match then took an unexpected turn. Soderling was unable
to break Haider-Maurer's serve in the third set, and so it went to a tie-break. Soderling had a match point but was unable to
convert, and Haider-Maurer took the set. And with a break of serve in the 11th game of the fourth set, Haider-Maurer took the
lead in the set and served it out to level the match. And so it went to a deciding set, and the prospect of an upset was real;
but Soderling steadied to take the final set and progress to the second round.
There were few upsets on the first day, but Soderling's scare was a close shave. 13th seed Jurgen Melzer and 17th seed
Gael Monfils were also taken to five sets, while Albert Montanes had to come from two sets behind before getting over
Michal Przysuezny.
32th seed Lleyton Hewitt is out of the tournament, going down in five sets to Paul-Henri Mathieu. But it was better news for
the other Australians. Carsten Ball got through in four sets against Milos Raonic. Sam Stosur dropped a set against Elena
Vesnina but progressed through to the second round, while reciprocal wildcard Sally Peers and Aussie recruit Anastasia
Rodionova got through in straight sets.
