Emma Raducanu and Cameron Norrie return to action at the US Open on Wednesday as British hopes look to lift after a tough opening day at Flushing Meadows.
Raducanu meets Indonesia’s Janice Tjen on Louis Armstrong Stadium, scheduled for around 4pm BST, while Norrie takes on Francisco Comesana on Court 5 in the second match of the day.
British fans were hoping for a brighter showing after Tuesday’s results, with Katie Boulter, Billy Harris, Francesca Jones and Sonay Kartal all bowed out in the first round. The day’s action also features the world’s top players, including Novak Djokovic opening proceedings on Arthur Ashe Stadium against Zachary Svajda, and Carlos Alcaraz facing Mattia Bellucci in the evening session.
Upcoming British interest continues on Thursday as Jack Draper is set to play Zizou Bergs of Belgium.

– Norrie aiming to back up his form on hard courts and extend his progress into the third round.
– The wider draw on the day, including Djokovic’s bid to start strong on Ashe and Alcaraz’s attempt to move deeper in the tournament.
