The build-up to this year’s US Open continues this week with The Cincinnati Masters – also known as the Western & Southern Open – and there are already some interesting matches on the cards.

Tomorrow, Emma Raducanu will have her first encounter with tennis legend Serena Williams, who recently announced that she was set to “evolve away from tennis” in the near future, while the likes of Daniil Medvedev and Rafael Nadal will also be in action later in the week.

Today’s highlights include British hopeful Cameron Norrie’s tie against Danish hotshot Holger Rune and a box office clash between former Grand Slam champions Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka.

In the women’s game, last year’s US Open finalist Leylah Annie Fernandez is in action against Ekaterina Alexandrova, while Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina takes on Egypt’s Mayar Sherif. 

Fans around the world will be excited to see how the tournament plays out with so many big names involved this year.

The US Open is coming up soon and the events in Cincinnati are likely to give us a good flavour of what to expect at Flushing Meadows when the final major of the year rolls around.
