•Roger Federer moved on with a routine 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 victory against Paul-Henri Mathieu.
In fact, afterward Federer was more interested in talking about Rafael Nadal’s pursuit of the career Grand Slam than his own victory.
“Clearly, he has a chance because he’s young enough,” Federer said.
•Novak Djokovic reached the U.S. Open’s fourth round for the fourth consecutive year, eliminating American wild card James Blake in straight sets.
The third-seeded Djokovic beat Blake 6-1, 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Serbia’s Djokovic made only 13 unforced errors.
•Fighting the wind as much as her opponent, No. 4 seed Jelena Jankovic lost her third-round match.
The remnants of Hurricane Earl brought wind gusts of up to 25 mph that were playing havoc with the players — starting with Jankovic, who lost 6-2, 7-6 (7-1) to No. 31 Kaia Kanepi.
•American Mardy Fish beat Arnaud Clement of France in five sets and reached the fourth round in Flushing Meadows.
The 19th-seeded Fish won 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. This is the furthest he’s been at a Grand Slam event since 2008.
