Hello, hello! And welcome to our day five coverage of the US Open, where the first round has finally concluded after this week’s rain interruptions and we’ll get the chance to have a second look at the title credentials of Taylor Fritz, Iga Swiatek, Mirra Andreeva, Amanda Anisimova and Felix Auger-Aliassime – along with Naomi Osaka’s latest fashion statement and the mania surrounding the Filipino phenom that is Alexandra Eala.
Britain’s Fran Jones and Harriet Dart are also in second-round action – Jones has a tough assignment against the home star in the making Iva Jovic and Dart plays the Czech 25th seed Marie Bouzkova – while Alex de Minaur, Flavio Cobolli, Lorenzo Musetti, Madison Keys and Michael Zheng, another rising American, play in the day session too (Coco Gauff, Alexander Zverev, Elena Rybakina and Gael Monfils are all in the night session).
