BRITS TO WATCH TODAY

DAN EVANS (24th seed) v THIAGO MONTEIRO

Great Britain No 1 ought to have too much for Brazil’s world No 93, but has little form since Covid ruled him out of the Olympics.

ANDY MURRAY v STEFANOS TSITSIPAS (3)

Nothing suggests Murray in his current shape can beat the outstanding young Greek.

JO KONTA v KRISTINA MLADENOVIC

Recent Covid issues have denied Konta momentum entering a match she is easily capable of winning.

CAM NORRIE (26) v CARLOS ALCARAZ

Despite a gruelling year, Norrie should be too solid for the exciting Spanish teenager.

HARRIET DART v CAROLINE GARCIA

Dart will hope French former top-10 opponent has one of her less explicable off days.

HEATHER WATSON v KAJA JUVAN

The Slovenian, 20, is ranked 109, but Watson’s US Open record is horrific, having lost all nine first rounds.
