US Open qualifying day, with Winston-Salem and Monterrey in support

US Open qualifying is being played in New York, while Winston-Salem and Monterrey continue their middle rounds.

The U.S. Open qualifying is being played in New York, with the men's and women's events both working through their early rounds. The main draw has not yet begun, so the attention on the tour side falls on Winston-Salem and Monterrey.

Winston-Salem is into the round of thirty-two and the round of sixty-four, with D. Medvedev the player the model likes most. Monterrey offers the fuller card: most of the round of thirty-two is on the schedule, along with a round-of-sixteen tussle, and E. Mertens leads the model's ratings.

Coverage in the US splits across ESPN and the ESPN app for the U.S. Open, and Tennis Channel for the tour-level matches. UK viewers can follow the day's play on Sky Sports Tennis.

A modest day at the end of the summer hard-court run, but Monterrey has a string of close matchups and Winston-Salem is at the point where the field starts to narrow. The U.S. Open main draw is still ahead; today is the calm before it.
