US Open order of play and today’s schedule including Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz

Iga Swiatek , Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner headline the second day of action at the US Open as the first round continues.

Swiatek and Alcaraz were US Open champions in 2022 and return to New York among the favourites for the final grand slam of the year.

Alcaraz won the titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon and the Spaniard insists he is ready to go despite a worrying ankle twist in training.

Meanwhile, his young rival Sinner arrives at Flushing Meadows under the cloud of two failed anti-doping tests, for which he was cleared of fault.
