The second round of the 2016 U.S. Open got underway Wednesday in Flushing Meadows, New York, with Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Angelique Kerber spearheading the marquee.

All three top seeds were coming off strong performances in their opening matches, as we've yet to see a truly marquee upset through the first two days. No top-10 player was ousted in the first round on either side, and there were a total of just two top 16 seeds overall to take the plunge. Each of the top 17 women made it through the first round unscathed.

That said, the margin for error shrinks exponentially starting with the second round. Most of the seeded players remained heavy favorites, but most expected the action to be much more hotly contested on Day 3. Here's a look at how everything played out.

Djokovic advanced via walkover against Jiri Vesely, who withdrew due to inflammation in his left forearm.

"I'm very, very disappointed right now," Vesely said, per SuperSport. "I was looking forward to playing Novak; I would have nothing to lose."

Vesely previously served Djokovic his first loss of the 2016 season in Monte Carlo in April.

Of the matches that actually took place Wednesday, we got our first major upset—albeit one that tennis fans could've seen coming.

Former world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki continued her return to form in earning a 6-4, 6-4 win over ninth-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova. Neither woman had much success with her serves, with Kuznetsova actually winning on 46 percent of her service points. Wozniacki's equally disconcerting rate of 55 percent was good enough to scrape by, as she broke Kuznetsova six times to the Russian's four breaks.
