The fifth day of the 2013 U.S. Open lent to many of the game's biggest names advancing to the next round in the year's final Grand Slam tournament, but there wasn't a scarcity of challenges or surprises overall.

Both top seeds on the men's and women's side were in action, and while Novak Djokovic was forced to a tiebreaker in the opening set, he was still able to get through Round 2 in straight sets over German upstart Benjamin Becker.

Defending champion Serena Williams didn't have so much trouble, easily disposing of Yaroslava Shvedova. Williams will play American compatriot Sloane Stephens in the round of 16, which should be interesting considering Stephens beat Williams in the Australian Open quarterfinals in January.

Williams' match was preceded by an epic five-set match, where Lleyton Hewitt pulled the upset over No. 6 seed Juan Martin del Potro. Of the four five-set showdowns on the men's side on Friday, this was certainly the most exciting one.

Below is a more detailed analysis of the notable developments on Day 5, including the struggles Murray continued to endure on the hard-court season even in victory.
