AT A GLANCE

-

A quick look at the U.S. Open:

LOOKAHEAD TO FRIDAY

Denis Shapovalov and Maria Sharapova have left their low points behind and are riding high. Shapovalov plays his thirdround match against Britain’s Kyle Edmund, the player he was facing in a Davis Cup match in February when he was defaulted and fined $7,000 for hitting a ball in anger that struck the chair umpire in the face and broke a bone under his left eye. The Canadian qualifier, 18, says he’s more mature now and there’s no doubt his tennis is much better, as he proved again in his upset of No. 8 seed JoWilfried Tsonga in the second round. Sharapova is back in Arthur Ashe Stadium for the third consecutiv­e match in her first Grand Slam tournament since her doping suspension, facing American Sofia Kenin at night. Also, No. 3 Garbine Muruguza and No. 9 Venus Williams look for victories they need to stay the hunt for the No. 1 ranking.
