- Updates as Djokovic continues his pursuit of a famous slam
- Raducanu reaches third round after breezing past Shuai
- And you can contact Bryan by email or on Twitter
Hello and welcome to Flushing Meadows for tonight’s second-round match between Novak Djokovic and Tallon Griekspoor. The best player in the world and top seed in the men’s draw is back in Arthur Ashe Stadium as he continues his quest for a record-setting 21st major championship and the first calendar-year grand slam by a men’s player in more than five decades. Standing in his way tonight is Griekspoor, the world No 121 from the Netherlands who this time last week thought he’d have to miss the season-ending grand slam due to visa issues. History would favor Djokovic: he’s 52-1 at major tournaments against opponents ranked outside the top 100, including 12-0 at the US Open, and he’s never lost before the third round in Queens.
The players should be on court for their warm-up in the next 15 minutes or so.
