Schlager of the day: Sloane Stephens VS.Madison Keys (6 p.m. CEST, Arthur Ashe Stadium)
Honor who deserves this.And if the reissue of the 2017 final in 2017 at the US Open is already in round one, then we should also pay particular attention to it here.However, the fact that neither Sloane Stephens nor Madison Keys are set at the last major this year, speaks volumes about the achievements of the two over the past few months.Stephens, tournament winner in 2017, goes into the race as a easy favorite, she leads in direct record with Keys with 4: 2 victories.
Upset Alert: Magda Linette VS.Cori Gauff (third match after 5 p.m., Louis Armstrong Stadium)
The greatest hopes of the US fans are probably resting on Cori Gauff.Who has also trained extremely diligently in Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in the past few days - not only on the larger courts, but also on the not so sophisticated place 14th place.Magda Linette, on the other hand, was involved in Cleveland until Friday, and was eliminated there in the semifinals against Irina Camelia Begu.Gauff may go into the match as a favorite as a favorite in the world - but weak phases may not afford the Polish.
Veteran Watch: Ivo Karlovic VS.Andrey Rublev (second match after 5 p.m., Grandstand)
Of course: The duel between Andy Murray and Stefanos Tsitsipas brings a very big veteran back to one of the show courts (second match of the day session in Arthur Ashe).Ivo Karlovic, however, has earned more attention to a shade.Finally drual.Ivo fight through the qualification.And was rewarded with a duel with Andrey Rublev.The Russian goes into the game as a big favorite, no question.Against the big boards on the tour, as Karlovic is still one, Rublev traditionally is always difficult.
Secret top game of the day: Cameron Norrie VS.Carlos Alcaraz (fourth match on Court 10)
Norrie, who would have thought before the beginning of the 2021 season, is a serious candidate for a place at the ATP Finals in Turin.Alcaraz, on the other hand, won his first tournament on the ATP tour in Umag this season. Last week in Winston Salem was in the semi-finals.Norrie is the favorite - but Alcaraz will let the British work hard.
The German glasses: Kerber, Kohlschreiber, Koepfer, Gojowczyk, Petkovic in action
Angelique Kerber, winner in New York 2016, made lust for more with her strong appearances in Wimbledon and Cincinnati.The first task against Dayana Yastremska (second match on Court 5 p.m. after 5 p.m.) could be quite demanding.Peter Gojowczyk, like Ivo Karlovic, came to the 128-grid, opens the Court 9 against Ugo Humbert.Philipp Kohlschreiber has to go against Marin Cilic on the 11er (second match after 5 p.m.).Dominik Koepfer against Quentin Haly's two matches later.Andrea Petkovic is dealing with Irina Camelia Begu (Court 12, third match).
