U.S. Open 2012 Schedule And TV Coverage: Novak Djokovic Plays Andy Murray For The Title

There's only one match on the schedule today at the 2012 U.S. Open. The men's final will see No. 2 Novak Djokovic taking on No. 3 Andy Murray. Djokovic and Murray will face off on the main court at 4 p.m. ET. Djokovic advanced to the final on Sunday when he defeated No. 4 David Ferrer 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2. Murray completed his semi a day earlier, defeating Tomas Berdych 5-7, 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (9).

Djokovic would appear to be at a disadvantage as far as rest is concerned, having finished his semi-final a full twenty four hours after Murray. Djokovic has only lost one set all tournament though, so he's been about as efficient as possible in his title bid.

Djokovic and Murray met in the Olympic semi-finals, with Murray coming out on top en route to his Olympic gold. The two also faced off in the 2011 Australian Open men's final, where Djokovic defeated Murray with relative ease.

The women's side of the 2012 U.S. Open is down to two as Serena WIlliams and Victoria Azarenka won their semifinal matches on Friday at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Azarenka will be appearing in her first-ever U.S. Open final, with Williams making her sixth appearance.

Serena set the tone with her serve, smashing nine aces and winning 92% of her first-serve points. Errani could only muster six winners for the entire match.

The two women held serve in the third until Azarenka was able to break Sharapova at 5-4 to win the match. Sharapova struggled to win her service games for most of the day, largely because of her 42 unforced errors.

The men's doubles final was also held at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday and Americans Bob and Mike Ryan took the title. The second-seeded Bryan brothers defeated Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek in straight sets to take the championship.

2012 U.S. Open Scores: Health Forces Mardy Fish To Withdraw, Federer Advances

No. 23 Mardy Fish was forced to pull out of the U.S. Open for "health concerns" on Monday afternoon. The American's withdrawal means that his opponent, top-ranked Roger Federer, moves on easily to his 38th consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal.

"I regret that I have to withdraw from the US Open for precautionary measures," Fish said in a statement on the U.S. Open Website. "I was reluctant to do so, but am following medical advisement. I had a good summer and look forward to resuming my tournament schedule in the fall."

According to a Yahoo! Sports report, Fish had heart problems earlier this year when he was hospitalized for an elevated heart rate after an event in Miami and underwent a procedure to attempt to correct the issue.

The 2012 U.S. Open is ready for its fourth day of action on Thursday morning in venerable Flushing, N.Y.

One of the most fascinating matchups is Venus Williams against No. 6 seed Angelique Kerber. The German is expected to win somewhat easily, but Williams isn't to be underestimated, even at this point in her career.

Another women's match that should be intriguing is between Sloane Stephens and Tatjana Malek. Stephens is being looked upon by many experts as a sleeper in this tournament and has quickly been rising in the tennis world. Malek is an experienced player who hasn't had much success in majors, never getting past the second round.

On the men's side of the draw, keep an eye on James Blake against No. 24 Marcel Granollers. Blake has the potential to go far in the U.S. Open, but has a tough opponent waiting. If the American can find a way to beat Granollers, he may be able to get on a roll.

U.S. Open Results 2012: Djokovic, Other Favorites Advance, Wozniacki Falls Flat

Americans shined during the second day of the U.S. Open from the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadow, N.Y., but it was the shocking upset of No. 8 Caroline Wozniacki by unranked Irina-Camelia Begu, 6-2, 6-2 that drew the most attention on the day.

The former world No. 1 was downed easily in her attempt to claim her first career major title. Wozniacki's loss does open her quarter of the women's draw at Flushing Meadow up for No. 4 Serena Williams, who beat fellow American Coco Vandeweghe, 6-1, 6-1 on Tuesday.

In men's draw action, many of the favorites, including Novak Djokovic and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, were in action on Tuesday, and few had much trouble advancing to the second round. Djokovic quickly dominated Paolo Lorenzi, 6-1, 6-0, 6-1, while Tsonga grabbed a victory over Karol Beck 6-3, 6-1, 7-6 (7-2).

American No. 20 Andy Roddick also advanced, besting qualifier Rhyne Williams, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.

2012 U.S. Open Tennis Scores: Andy Roddick, Venus Williams Down Fellow Americans

Andy Roddick and Venus Williams had no trouble moving past the first round of the U.S. Open, each beating fellow American opponents in their first round matchups Monday afternoon.

Roddick was paired against qualifier Rhyne Williams. Roddick's serve was on, and Williams didn't break him once through three sets, with Roddick winning 6-3 6-4 6-4. Meanwhie, Venus Williams looked about as good as anybody has seen her play since she withdrew from the 2011 U.S. Open with Sjogren's Syndrome, beating Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-3, 6-1, including a string where she won 15 of 16 points in the first set. Advancing from the first round of a major had never been an issue for Williams before Wimbledon earlier this summer, where she lost to Elena Vesnina right off the bat. Perhaps Williams' dominant performance suggests a return to form for one of the all-time greats.

Meanwhile, American Sam Querrey bounced back after dropping the first set to beat Taiwan's Yen-Hsun Lu 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-4 7-5, and seeded players Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Tomas Berdych, and Milos Raonic won their matches, with the 15th-seeded Raonic needing five sets to beat Santiago Giraldo in a match where he never served comfortably, racking up 15 double faults.
