British No 1 Jack Draper will be looking to reach a grand-slam quarter-final for the first time in his career when he faces Tomas Machac in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows.
Draper finds himself part of a wide-open draw courtesy of shock exits for both Carlos Alcaraz and defending champion Novak Djkovic. His form at the US Open as been impressive so far – winning his first three matches without dropping a set.
World No 1 Iga Swiatek resumes her quest for a second US Open title when she takes on Liudmila Samsonova, before men’s No 1 seed Jannik Sinner faces Tommy Paul.
Elsewhere, Italy’s Jasmine Paolini and 2021 champion Daniil Medvedev are also in action.

What happened to Emma Raducanu?
Emma Raducanu was knocked out by Sofia Kenin in a 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 defeat on the Grandstand court.
It looked like it could be a short outing as Kenin rattled through the first set, but Raducanu made a match of it by sending it to three sets.
A costly service game midway through the decider proved costly as the former champion headed home.
Having played just one tournament since Wimbledon and skipping the Olympics to focus on her preparation for the US Open, she will be desperately disappointed to fall at the first hurdle and questions remain over the direction of her career.
