Intrigue: Will Mirra Andreeva take revenge for the loss at Roland Garros?
16-year-old Mirra Andreeva of Russia successfully broke the exit barrier at the US Open and scored a resounding victory over Australia’s Olivia Gadeki. But then Andreeva will face a more serious test – the sixth racket of the tournament, Corey Gauff. The girls met already this year in the third round of Roland Garros, and then the more experienced Gauff turned out to be stronger. Will Mirra be able to take revenge on Paris now? The winner of this match will later play with the best tennis player of the couple Elise Mertens – Danielle Collins.

🎾 7:30 p.m.*: Aslan Karatsev (Russia) – Roberto Carballés-Baena (Spain), US Open – second round
*Game schedules are subject to change and will be confirmed.
Intrigue: Will Karatsev repeat his record at the US Open?
Aslan Karatsev brilliantly faced the Czech Jiri Legechka at the start of the tournament. Now the Russian will have to fight with Roberto Carball̩s-Baena, who sensationally eliminated the fourth racket in the world, Holger Rune, from the tournament. At the level of the ATP main draws, the tennis players have never played, but in the tournaments of the lower categories they met three times for a long time, all the matches were on clay and in all cases Roberto won, in the future in Lleida 2012 (Spain), in Meknes and Kenitra in 2014 (both РMorocco). If Karatsev manages to get past this opponent, he will repeat his record at the US Open (2021). The winner of this match in the third round will play against the best tennis player of the Dominic Thiem-Ben Shelton couple.

Novak Djokovic, after reaching the second round of the US Open, has already guaranteed himself the title of first racket in the world at the end of the tournament. How will the 23-time Slam champion play his next match with the new status? His opponent will be 26-year-old Spaniard Bernabé Zapata Miralles, whom the eminent Serb has never met. Now Bernabé is racket number 76 in the world and in May he reached a record for himself in 37th place. The Spaniard’s best result at the US Open so far was the second round of the US Open – 2021, and at the TBSH – the fourth round of Roland Garros – 2022.
