Preamble
Hello! And welcome to our coverage of the US Open day seven.
Such has been the dominance of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz over the past two years, it’s almost possible to have sudden amnesia for all that the Big Three managed to achieve before the Big Two came along. Having carved up the past seven grand slam titles between them, they’re now seemingly hurtling towards a third consecutive major final against each other, yet to drop a set – and after Alcaraz’s latest breeze yesterday, it’s now Sinner’s turn to remind everyone that there are two kings of New York, as the defending champion takes on Canada’s Denis Shapovalov for a place in the last 16.
Sinner is second on Arthur Ashe in the day session, after Coco Gauff puts her shaky serve through another round of intense scrutiny, this time against Poland’s Magdalena Frech. On Louis Armstrong it’s an all-Italian affair between Lorenzo Musetti and Flavio Cobolli, before what could be another cracker, as Naomi Osaka and her countless crystals take on Daria Kasatkina. Elsewhere we’ve got Alex de Minaur, Andrey Rublev, the whitewashed Wimbledon finalist Amanda Anisimova, plus Venus Williams, 96, in the women’s doubles.
Play gets going: straight away. Don’t go anywhere!
