Everything you need to know about the final grand slam of the year
Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter could meet in the US Open third round after being drawn in the same quarter.
Raducanu will face 2020 Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin in the first round and if she wins could meet American Jessica Pegula in round two while Boutler’s tournament begins against a qualifier. Harriet Dart has been drawn against Chloe Paquet of France.
In the men’s draw, Jack Draper is projected to meet third seed Carlos Alcaraz in the third round but faces China’s Zhizhen Zhang in the opening round. Daniel Evans has been handed a tough draw in the shape of Russian Karen Khachanov.
Elsewhere, men’s world No 1 Jannik Sinner has been drawn in the same half as French Open and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz which means they could meet in the semi-finals. Alcaraz will start off against a qualifier while Sinner opens against American Mackenzie McDonald. Paris Olympics gold medalist Novak Djokovic also begins against a qualifier.
Coco Gauff, who won her first grand slam title last year in New York, is the No 3 seed and opens against Varvara Gracheva of France.
Notable first-round matches include two-time US Open champion Naomi Osaka against tenth seed Jelena Ostapenko, 2019 winner Bianca Andreescu faces French Open and Wimbledon runner-up Jasmine Paolini and American Ben Shelton versus 2020 champion Dominic Thiem, who was handed a wildcard into his final grand slam tournament.

With Andy Murray now retired and Norrie injured, attention turns to Jack Draper to carry British hopes in the men’s draw. Daniel Evans is also expected to play due to his entry ranking of 58. His current ranking of 178 would have meant he needed to come through qualifying.
In the women’s draw, Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu and Harriet Dart are all on the entry list.
Last year, Novak Djokovic equalled Margaret Court’s record of 24 major titles with a brilliant performance over Daniil Medvedev.
In the women’s final, Coco Gauff stormed back from a set down to beat Aryna Sabalenka and claim her first grand slam title.
