Shahar Peer

This afternoon, the Israeli Shahar Peer will take on Anna Chakvetadze in the quarterfinals. Here’s what Peer had to say about fans in Flushing:

"I go on the court and I feel like I'm playing in Israel or something. It's so much fun. It's really nice to play when you have so much support."

Labor Day Match of the Day: Andy Roddick versus Tomas Berdych. Neither player has dropped a set in this tournament and the winner will be rewarded with a quarterfinals match against Roger Federer. Tommy Haas and James Blake have both endured bloody lead-ins and they’ll clash this afternoon.

The women’s bottom draw will get clearer tonight: the upstart Israeli Shahar Peer will take on the upstart Pole Aggie Radwanska.
