The US Open 2026 has officially announced its order of play for Wednesday, September 2, where the first matches of the second round will begin. However, they have only announced the schedules for the Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong courts, as rain has affected today’s matches and several matches will likely have to be completed tomorrow.

 

 

In fact, storms have been the main protagonists during the first days, something that significantly impacts those players not playing on the main courts. What is known is that the Arthur Ashe will feature a high-flying day. During the day, there will be two exciting matches: Jessica Pegula vs Sofia Kenin and Ben Shelton vs Hubert Hurkacz. Additionally, in the night session, the two current champions of the tournament will play. Aryna Sabalenka will face Polina Iatcenko and Carlos Alcaraz will take on Jaime Faria late in the evening, so fans will have to stay up late to see them.

Tiafoe joins the night session

The Louis Armstrong court will also host great matchups. In the daytime session, Daniil Medvedev will start the day against Sebastian Gorzny, one of the tournament’s great stories. Furthermore, immediately afterwards, Marta Kostyuk will face Sloane Stephens in what is expected to be one of the best matches of the day.

In the night session, Frances Tiafoe will be back in action, who, after being pushed to the limit against Martin Damm Jr., will this time face Rei Sakamoto as he continues to dream of reaching the final rounds of his favorite tournament. Finally, Lanlana Tararudee and Linda Noskova will close the day on the second main court. It is still unknown how the rest of the matches will unfold, depending on the weather conditions.
