First up on Arthur Ashe on day six is Serbia's number four seed Jelena Jankovic, a finalist two years ago, and she finds herself up against Estonia's Kaia Kanepi in blustery conditions

The first men's winner of the day is Spanish 21st seed Albert Montanes, who sees Japanese opponent Kei Nishikori retire at 6-2 2-1 down after only 38 minutes on court
In the fourth round Montanes will meet Sweden's Robin Soderling, after the fifth seed enjoys a comfortable afternoon in dumping out Dutchman Thiemo de Bakker 6-2 6-3 6-3 in one hour and 42 minutes
On Louis Armstrong, top seed in the women's draw Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark makes short work of Taiwan's Chan Yung-Jan, securing a brutal 6-1 6-0 victory in only 73 minutes to reach the last 16
There, Wozniacki will come up against 2006 champion Maria Sharapova. The Russian was in even more ruthless form as she swept aside American wildcard Beatrice Capra 6-0 6-0
As always, 14th seed Sharapova proves popular with the autograph hunters at Flushing Meadows
Serbia's Janko Tipsarevic takes on France's 17th seed Gael Monfils on the Grandstand Court and they share a tie-break apiece in what looks like becoming an exciting third-round contest
