British No 1 Emma Raducanu, Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka are in action on the opening day of the US Open.
Raducanu has shown some good form on the hard courts as the 2021 champion returns to Flushing Meadows, where she will play American-born Japanese player Ena Shibahara in her opening match.
The British No 1 will open play on Louis Armstrong Stadium at 11am local time (4pm UK time) – live on Sky Sports.
