3) Looks like the first truly buzzworthy match of the tournament -- Djokovic-Nadal, Number 1 versus Number 2, the best rivalry going in the men's game -- is still on. Nadal owns a sizeable overall head-to-head advantage on the Serb, and a 7-3 edge in their 10 previous meetings at majors. At the U.S. Open they're all square: Nadal beat Djokovic to win the final in 2010; Djokovic returned the favor to claim the '11 cup.
