US Open singles day in New York

Every tournament on court today, who is playing, and where to watch.

The model has singled out a shortlist of matches as the ones to follow, and many of them are close calls.

In the United States, coverage runs across ESPN and ABC, with streaming on the ESPN app. UK viewers can find the action on Sky Sports Tennis, NOW and Sky Go; in Australia, Nine's network and Stan Sport carry the tournament; in Canada, TSN, RDS and TSN+ are the options.

Most of the day's selected contests are scheduled in the early session in New York, with some in the evening. That gives the day a long arc, with standout tennis spread from start to finish.
