Sometimes, apparently, people just go to a tennis match to watch tennis.

Shortly after the end of the first set between Carlos Moya and Novak Djokovic last night, a crowd-cam zeroed in on Alec Baldwin, who was sitting some ten rows from the court, just below the President’s Suite. Some fans in the crowd booed.

The 49-year-old actor called a young man in a coat and tie down from the President’s suite to speak with him while pointing up at the big screen. A few minutes later, Baldwin grabbed his wheat-colored Panama hat and left.

Finally. A much-needed, quick, straight-sets victory for Novak Djokovic, over a battle-hardened Carlos Moya. Next, Djokovic will take on the speedy, relentless David Ferrer on Super Saturday.

The '98 French Open champ and former world number one Moya had kind things to say about his younger opponent.

"I think if there's one player who can be compared to Rafa and Roger it's him," said Moya after the match.  read more »

“I’m going to take two or three aspirins before the match,” said Novak Djokovic’s coach Marián Vajda. “I’m going to need it. It’s going to be a real challenge.”

Like Tylenol?

“No, special Slovak kind. I need it to work.”

Tonight, Novak Djokovic will take on the determined 31-year-old veteran Carlos Moya in the U.S. Open quarterfinal. Djokovic's entire trip through the Open has been an exhausting one (see here and here) and tonight could be another headache.  read more »

The three-time French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten had been sitting in the player’s dining room over the last 90 minutes eating steak and watching TV.

“Muy mal!” a friend exclaimed to Kuerten.
