It was another late, late show at the US Open! Coco Gauff battled through to Round 2 with her remodelled serve, whilst Alex Eala made a confident start in front of a raucous Louis Armstrong crowd. We also celebrate Gael Monfils turning 40 with a vintage performance (and a bagel!), while Venus and Serena discover their doubles opponents — can Serena serve up some Maya Joint Wimbledon revenge?

The Day Session also brought more debate and rain, as Taylor Fritz cruises past 18-year-old prospect Darwin Blanch, Flavio Cobolli pulls off his first-ever two-set comeback, and Elena Rybakina begins her World No.1 chase with a win over Thea Frodin.
