A packed crowd on Ashe Stadium awaits home favourites James Blake and Andre Agassi on Labour Day in the US
Blake does not disappoint, producing an awesome display to stun second seed Rafael Nadal in four sets
Nadal looks poised to take control when he levels the match at one set all - but he is overpowered by New Yorker Blake

But Henin-Hardenne allows Cho back in before eventually coming through 6-0 7-6 (7-4)
Elena Dementieva looks to the heavens after coming through a titanic tussle with Anna Chakvetadze 6-1 4-6 7-6 (7-5)
