Men's draw
Rafael Nadal beat Ryan Harrison in straight sets and this hopefully means that the injuries that have plagued his career are behind him.
In a surprising result the British qualifier Dan Evans beat Kei Nishikori in straight sets to make it to the second round. This is really good for British tennis and I think that Andy Murray's success has given the other GB tennis players the belief that they can make it at the highest level.
Women's draw
I'm really happy that Venus Williams was able to beat Kirsten Flipkens in straight sets.
But the problem is Venus hasn't got the energy she once had so as much as I want her to do well, it will be a real challenge for Venus to keep her energy levels up.
Serena Williams beat Francesca Schiavone in straight sets and only dropped one game and hopefully she will keep this level up and stay focused and motivated.
Britain's Laura Robson beat Lourdes Dominguez Lino in straight sets. Laura has not played any tennis for about three weeks so it will be interesting to see if she can go further than she did last year.
US Open has started well and I am hoping that the players I regularly discuss on my blog will continue to do well.
