A U.S. Open women's final and a men's semi-final double

The women's singles title is decided in New York and both men's semi-finals are played, while lower-tier events fill the rest of the schedule.

The U.S. Open is the whole of the day's tour-level tennis. The women's singles final closes that draw with two players left, and the men's competition plays both of its semi-finals with four still standing.

The men's semi-finals bracket the day. One leads off in the New York afternoon, the women's final follows, and the second men's semi-final takes the evening. For viewers in Britain and Ireland that runs from the evening into the early hours; in Australia it plays overnight and into the morning.

Everything else on the card sits lower down the sport.
