Key events
Mboko, the 22nd seed, has a nervy start and is broken in the first game by Krejcikova. Petra Kvitova, who will retire from tennis after this tournament, is a break down against Diane Parry of France.
The future is here at Louis Armstrong Stadium. Victoria Mboko of Canada, the 18-year-old who triumphed in Montreal this month, beating Naomi Osaka in the final, is up against Barbora Krejcikova, Wimbledon champion last year. Mboko won’t be fazed by another slam winner.
Preamble
Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the second day of singles action at Flushing Meadows – hopefully Daniil Medvedev’s calmed down by now. Venus Williams, 45 years young, will be up on Arthur Ashe in the evening but before then we’ve got plenty of names to keep an eye on: Madison Keys, Jack Draper, Petra Kvitova and Cam Norrie are in action over the next few hours.
Drop me a line with your thoughts, queries and anything I’ve missed – there’s only so many screens I can use. Let’s get going.
