Five days full of thrilling tennis have passed at the 2013 U.S. Open, and there's plenty of matches left to play at Flushing Meadows.

While the tournament has failed to live up to the scintillating slew of upsets at Wimbledon that saw Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Serena Williams get the early boot, a top seed—albeit not a star of Nadal or Williams' caliber—has fallen in both brackets to spice up the tournament. The marquee names still stand, but at least that means we get to watch them longer.

The match lasted more than four hours and sparked surprised reactions like this one from Deadspin editor Timothy Burke.



Grantland's Brian Phillips was not as flattering in expressing his congratulations, but come on, who thought the 32-year-old on the verge of losing in the fourth set would rally?



 

Pennetta Shocks No. 4 Seed Errani

Sara Errani could not hold back tears as fellow Italian Flavia Pennetta pulled off the tournament's biggest upset, much to the No. 4 seed's chagrin.

Losing in the second round is a bummer, especially for a 26-year-old whose star is only rising. Falling to a friend probably doesn't help matters.



After cruising past the first round without surrendering a single set, Errani was knocked out in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1.
