The US Open will face the last day of the first round this Tuesday, September 1, with several big names in the tournament stepping into the spotlight. The order of play, published for the Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong courts, promises an exciting day in New York.

In the men's draw, Alexander Zverev will be one of the main protagonists as he faces Lorenzo Sonego, while Gael Monfils will take on an especially appealing match against the young Paraguayan Adolfo Daniel Vallejo. Players like Alex de Miñaur, Francisco Cerúndolo, Frances Tiafoe, Ben Shelton, and Casper Ruud will also make their debuts, within a day that will practically define the men's draw for the second round.

The schedule also features several important names from the women's circuit. Coco Gauff will face Zeynep Sönmez, while Iga Swiatek will debut against Xiyu Wang. Naomi Osaka, another major player in the tournament, will compete against Anastasia Zakharova, and Elena Rybakina's first opponent will be the Danish Thea Frodi.

The day will start around 11:30 local time at Arthur Ashe, while the night sessions will begin at 19:00. The US Open thus maintains its traditional format of two sessions in its main stadiums during this first week. Among the men's matches, notable matches include Arthur Fils against Stefanos Tsitsipas, Rafael Jódar facing Thanasi Kokkinakis, Felix Auger-Aliassime against Rinky Hijikata, and Lorenzo Musetti against Arthur Fery. At Louis Armstrong, Alexander Bublik will face J.J. Wolf.

With this day, the first round of the last Grand Slam of the season will be completed. Starting Wednesday, New York will begin to reduce the number of survivors and will fully enter the battle for the decisive rounds.
