While most first-round matches in Grand Slam tournaments are essentially considered warm-up contests for the world's top players, that isn't always the case. Every player in the tournament is dangerous to a certain degree, and anything can happen.

With that in mind, there are plenty of first-round affairs worth watching on Day 2 and Day 3 of the U.S. Open.

As is always the case with tennis majors, the storylines alone make some of the matches even more interesting, so there is plenty of incentive to tune in.

The remainder of the U.S. Open's first round should have some great tennis to offer with arguably the best player of all time trying to bust out of his recent funk, one of the United States' best male players trying to extend his career and much more.

Along with a full Day 2 schedule, here are three matches in particular that should catch your eye while you're following the proceedings in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., on Tuesday and Wednesday.



 

Roger Federer vs. Grega Zemlja



Nobody can ever take away Roger Federer's 17 grand slam titles, but they haven't done him much good in 2013.

This has been Federer's worst year in recent memory as he has just one title to his credit and has struggled in major tournaments. After losing in the second round at Wimbledon, which is a tournament he had owned, there is some concern regarding how long his stay at the U.S. Open will be.

Fed doesn't have the easiest first-round opponent, as he'll be taking on Slovenia's Grega Zemlja. Although Zemlia's record of 13-19 this year is nothing to write home about although he did reach the third round at Wimbledon after upsetting Grigor Dimitrov in the second round.

Federer's fall this season has been precipitous, as he is seeded lower at the U.S. Open than he has been at any major in a decade, according to SuperSport.com:
