Brits Dan Evans and Emma Raducanu are also in action in NYC while Andy Murray was beaten by Stefanos Tsitsipas in an epic.

Who won the US Open last year?
Naomi Osaka won a second US Open Women’s title in 2020 as she beat Victoria Azarenka 1-6, 6-3, 6-3.
Novak Djokovic however, did not win the men’s title after being disqualified from his match against Pablo Carreno Busta after accidentally hitting a line judge in the throat with a ball.
That allowed Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverez to play out an epic final in which Thiem came from two sets down to win 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6).
However, the Austrian will not be in New York to defend his title this year as he is out with a wrist injury.
