Play has commenced at the U.S. Open, wrapping up the Grand Slam tennis circuit for the year. Among the top contenders featured on Day 1 are defending champions Coco Gauff and Novak Djokovic. Gauff is set to take on Varvara Gracheva in a match at Arthur Ashe Stadium during the afternoon session. Meanwhile, Djokovic will be playing against Radu Albot in the final main stadium game of the night. Also scheduled for matches are 2023 runner-up Aryna Sabalenka, alongside American players Amanda Anisimova, Ben Shelton, and Taylor Fritz.

The tournament’s No. 1 seeds, Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner, are poised to begin their opening-round matches on Tuesday. Sinner has garnered a significant amount of attention as of late following reports that surfaced last week indicating he tested positive for steroids on two occasions in March, managing to avoid suspension.
