- Novak Djokovic opens up the defence of his US Open crown against the dangerous Pole Jerzy Janowicz. See Match of the Day. (Arthur Ashe, midnight)

- Rafa Nadal faces Denis Istomin, hoping to end a barren run without reaching the second week of a Grand Slam since the 2015 French Open. (Arthur Ashe, third match)
- Second seeded Angelique Kerber is a strong favourite to dismiss Polona Hercog as she aims for her third Grand Slam final of 2016. (Arthur Ashe, second match)
- Monica Puig hopes to follow up her shock Olympic gold with success in New York. She takes on Sasai Zheng of China. (P6/Old Grandstand, third match)
MATCH OF THE DAY
Novak Djokovic v Jerzy Janowicz - Arthur Ashe, midnight
You can't look much further than Novak Djokovic's match-up against Jerzy Janowicz for intrigue. The world No 1 has been out of sorts, losing early at Wimbledon and the Olympics. He has blamed the results on a wrist problem and 'private issues' so he will need a strong performance against the Polish world No 228 to silence any lingering doubts.

POTENTIAL UPSET OF THE DAY
Kyle Edmund v Richard Gasquet - Court 5, 16:00
The career of Great Britain's Kyle Edmund is on a upward curve. Fresh from teaming up with Andy Murray to win the Davis Cup last year, before leading the team to victory against Serbia this season, he is up to No 85 in the rankings. He faces France's Richard Gasquet, who, despite being seeded 13, has not reached a semi-final since February.

BRITWATCH
Johanna Konta is up against Bethanie Mattek-Sands as she bids to break into the top 10 for the first time. The British No 1 has been tipped to achieve this feat by Eurosport's Greg Rusedski and the USA's world No 109 really shouldn't cause her too many problems. As for Kyle Edmund, see above.
