US Open order of play and day two schedule including Venus Williams and Carlos Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz, Jack Draper and Venus Williams are among those in action on the second day of the US Open.

Alcaraz, who won the US Open in 2022, takes on the big-serving American Reilly Opelka in a potentially tricky opening match on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

British No 1 Draper reached last year’s semi-finals and enjoyed a breakout tournament and this time opens against a qualifier in Federico Agustín Gómez.

Williams, meanwhile, makes a spectacular return to the US Open at the age of 45 after taking a wildcard into the tournament she won in 2000 and 2001.

She will play Karolina Muchova, the former French Open winner and two-time US Open semi-finalist, to begin the night session on Arthur Ashe.
