Friday saw the top seeds on the men’s and women’s side play second- and third-round matchups at the U.S. Open. Saturday will bring more of the same, with the ones and threes switched out with twos and fours. Men’s No. 2 Rafael Nadal will try and make his push into the fourth round with a match against Ivan Dodig.

Top players Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Victoria Azarenka will all be in action on Saturday at the U.S. Open.

Nadal actually lost to Dodig the last time the two played -- on hard court, no less -- so that should be interesting to watch. While Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray played on Friday, the next-highest seed after Nadal is No. 4 David Ferrer, who will face off with Mikhail Kukushkin in the Grandstand.
No. 7 Roger Federer seems healthy for the first time in a couple months and is playing well in New York. He’ll be taking on Adrian Mannarino on Saturday. Mannarino upset Sam Querrey in his last match, but he’s likely no match for a healthy Federer.
On the women’s side, No. 2 Victoria Azarenka will be in action against No. 26 Alize Cornet. No. 7 Petra Kvitova will be taking on Alison Riske, and No. 10 Roberta Vinci will take on Karin Knapp. Other notable matches for the men include No. 8 Richard Gasquet vs. No. 32 Dmitry Tursunov and No. 10 Milos Raonic vs. No. 23 Feliciano Lopez.
Third-round television coverage kicks off at 11 a.m. ET on the CBS Sports Network and runs through 6 p.m. The Tennis Channel will pick up coverage at 7 p.m. and run through 11 p.m. You can find streaming video on U.S. Open Live, and if you want to listen in on the radio, there’s U.S. Open.org Radio.
