U.S. Open carries the day's Grand Slam schedule

The two U.S. Open draws fill the bill, with Sabalenka and Alcaraz heading the model's lists.

The U.S. Open is the day's main story.

Regional coverage of the U.S. Open is the same for both draws.

The featured matches run across the American day, from the opening block through to the late schedule. Beyond the Grand Slam, the other tournaments named for the day are Challenger and WTA 125 events, which sit below the main tour.
