The US Open faces this Saturday, September 5 one of the most attractive days of its third round. The big names of the tournament are spread across the main courts of Flushing Meadows, but the order of play brings a major surprise: Madison Keys, Iga Swiatek, and Elena Rybakina will have to play their respective matches in the Grandstand.

Arthur Ashe will again be the center of attention. In the daytime session, Taylor Fritz will face Francisco Cerúndolo in a high-level clash between two of the important names in the men's draw. After that, it will be Coco Gauff's turn, who will look to continue advancing at home against Spain's Cristina Bucsa. This match requires maximum attention, as Cris represents the last hope for our tennis in the women's draw.

The night session of the main court also promises intense emotions. Iva Jovic will face Alexandra Eala in one of the matchups featuring two of the most interesting young talents in the tournament. Following that, Alexander Zverev will close out the day against the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo.

In Louis Armstrong, there will be four other highlighted matches. Anastasia Potapova and Amanda Anisimova will feature an all-American clash, while Alexander Blockx will face Flavio Cobolli. Naomi Osaka will play against Elise Mertens, and Jakub Mensik will take on Learner Tien in another showdown between young talents. However, the distribution of the courts presents an unusual sight. The Grandstand will host three significant matches: Madison Keys against Qinwen Zheng, Iga Swiatek versus Marie Bouzkova, and Elena Rybakina against Yuliia Starodubtseva.

Thus, Saturday arrives with a truly luxurious lineup and an intriguing fact that is hard to imagine before knowing the order of play: three of the main title contenders will have to fight for a place in the round of 16 away from the two biggest courts of the tournament.
