Good morning/afternoon/evening depending on your worldly whereabouts and welcome to our coverage of the US Open. So much for
New York, it’s more like Old York on day three, with the Williams sisters, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic – boasting a combined age of 146 and 66 grand slam titles between them – the headline acts as the second round gets under way.
It’s the night session for Djokovic and Serena, and the day for Federer and Venus who, appearing in her 21st Open a year short of her 40th birthday, will be the underdog against the
Wimbledon semi-finalist and fifth seed, Elina Svitolina. That could be one of the matches of the day on the women’s side, where the
French Open champion, Ashleigh Barty, the once world No 1 Karolina Pliskova and the in-form Cincinnati winner, Madison Keys, play too.
