US Open order of play and Monday’s tennis schedule
The 2023 US Open begins today as Novak Djokovic looks to win a third grand slam of the year and a new record 24th men’s singles title. However he may have to beat his Wimbledon conquerer Carlos Alcaraz to do so, as the Spaniard aims to defend his US crown.
Iga Swiatek also returns hoping to secure back-to-back US Open crowns, but a competitive women’s field are likely to make it tough for the world number one, with Coco Gauff carrying home hopes as the young American bids to bounce back from an early Wimbledon exit.
British interest, meanwhile, will be led by Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans and Andy Murray in the men’s draw, while Katie Boulter and Jodie Burrage are joined by qualifier Lily Miyazaki in the women’s draw with Emma Raducanu absent due to injury.
