Tommy Haas makes a superb start to his quarter-final against Nikolay Davydenko, taking the first two sets
Davydenko cannot match the heights he hit against Andy Murray in the previous round and looks to be on his way out
But with Haas struggling physically, Davydenko takes advantage to level at two sets all
Davydenko needs two chances but holds his nerve to serve out for a dramatic 4-6 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 6-4 6-4 win
Roger Federer and James Blake square up for the night match on Arthur Ashe Stadium court in their quarter-final
Blake gets plenty of support from 23,000 New Yorkers and makes a good start but misses three set points and falls behind
Federer is at his breathtaking best as he wins the second set 6-0 and moves a break up in the third
Blake has plenty to consider as he looks like being the latest man to be on the end of a Federer masterclass
But Blake's supporters - the 'J Block' - still believe in their man and help carry him through the third set tie-break
Federer storms to a 5-1 lead in the fourth set but lets Blake back in and is a happy man after finally edging through
Blake congratulates Federer after the defending champion wins 7-6 (9-7) 6-0 6-7 (9-11) 6-4
