US Open 2024: Today’s order of play and how to watch on TV

Everything you need to know about the final grand slam of the year

Harriet Dart is back in action on today after she breezed past Chloe Paquet in her opening match.
Dart is enjoying the best period of her career and after making it through to the third round at Wimbledon, she has followed it up by winning her first main draw match at Flushing Meadows.
The 26-year-old dropped just two games in a dominant performance which saw her win 6-1, 6-2 and victory will see her ranking rise to a provisional career high of 66 in the world. She will have her work cut out to repeat her Wimbledon feat as she faces 13th seed Emma Navarro.
Meanwhile, a tearful Naomi Osaka admitted she did not know whether she would ever make it back to the US Open as she enjoyed a winning return.
The two-time champion is back at Flushing Meadows after missing last year’s tournament following the birth of her first child.
Osaka, who has also been open about her mental health struggles, watched American Coco Gauff win the 2023 edition and questioned whether she would be able to make it back to New York.
However, she proved she is on the way back with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over 10th seed Jelena Ostapenko on Arthur Ashe.

Emma Raducanu was knocked out by Sofia Kenin in a 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 defeat on the Grandstand court.
It looked like it could be a short outing as Kenin rattled through the first set, but Raducanu made a match of it by sending it to three sets.
A costly service game midway through the decider proved costly as the former champion headed home.
Having played just one tournament since Wimbledon and skipping the Olympics to focus on her preparation for the US Open, she will be desperately disappointed to fall at the first hurdle and questions remain over the direction of her career.
British number one Jack Draper put his recent controversy behind him by strutting into the second round of the US Open in style.
Draper came into the tournament under a black cloud after events in Cincinnati, where he was accused of cheating and lying during a controversial match point against Felix Auger-Aliassime.
The 22-year-old, who was attacked on social media by players past and present, admitted he thought about it “non-stop” coming into Flushing Meadows but showed a clear mind as he dismantled an injured Zhizhen Zhang in the first round.
He was winning 6-3, 6-0, 4-0 when the Chinese, who fell over and hurt his left knee in practice, retired after suffering in the sweltering heat.
Last year, Novak Djokovic equalled Margaret Court’s record of 24 major titles with a brilliant performance over Daniil Medvedev.
In the women’s final, Coco Gauff stormed back from a set down to beat Aryna Sabalenka and claim her first grand slam title.
