Preamble
Yo dudes, and welcome to the US Open 2023 – day three!
Hellsyeah! What a start we’ve got to today’s action! Opening proceedings on Ashe it’s Mirra Andreeva, the 16-year-old freak of nature, v Coco Gauff, the 19-year-old freak of nature! They actually met at Roland-Garros, Gauff coming from behind to win in three, and though hards might help the younger player, the old campaigner is not only in the form of her life but looks to have set a new base level for herself.
Following them, Bernabé Zapata Miralles has the unpleasant task of facing Novak Djokovic, while on Armstrong, Elise Mertens v Danielle Collins could be a decent contest and Iga Swiatek, the defending champion, is always a pleasure to watch.
Otherwise, Elena Rybakina meets Ajla Tomljanovic, back after nine months out injured, with Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud, Karolína Muchová, Jelena Ostapenko and Christopher Eubanks also in actio, likewise a host of others. And if we’re picking out matchups, Taylor Townsend v Bea Haddad Maia and Lily Miyazaki v Belinda Bencic look tasty. Let’s go, dudes!
Play: 11am local, 4pm BST
