US Open qualifying, then Winston-Salem and Monterrey main draws

A day of Grand Slam qualifying, plus evenly matched main-draw contests in North America.

The U.S. Open qualifying rounds continue in New York, with the men's and women's draws still in progress. The qualifying is the day's headline, while the main-draw tennis is limited to hard-court events in Winston-Salem and Monterrey.

The slate is modest by Grand Slam standards, but the matches carrying most weight are closely matched, with the model finding little between many of the pairings.
