On Wednesday there will be a full slate of action on tap with the men completing their remaining first round matches while some of the ladies begin to play second round encounters.

There is plenty of first-rate tennis to be savored––but these are the most compelling matches that promise the tighest action.

Ana Ivanovic vs. Jie Zheng (21) Second Round

Jie Zheng of China and Ana Ivanovic of Serbia meet in the second round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. on Arthur Ashe Stadium. The two have met three times with Zheng winning the last two in 2008 at Beijing and at Wimbledon.  

This match should go a long way to show how far back Ivanovic has come this summer on her road back to the top of the women’s game.

Last year Zheng made it to the third round of the U.S. Open losing to Nadia Petrova. This year Zheng made it all the way to the semifinals of the 2010 Australian Open where she finally met and was defeated by Justine Henin. The lady from China proved herself to be a fierce competitor on the hard courts.  

In Montreal Zheng lost in the quarterfinals to Svetlana Kuznetsova, after defeating Elena Dementieva in the previous round.  Zheng will come into this match ready to play and Ivanovic, who has also enjoyed a good summer, should be ready to run.  



Prediction: Zheng will win this second round contest. 

Janko Tipsarevic vs. Andy Roddick (9) Second Round 

It is always fun to watch Tipsarevic play against a top seed because the top-ranked players seem to bring out the best in the Serb.
