FLUSHING MEADOWS, NY – Day 3 at the US Open, and already bereft of Canadians. Which is … a thing.

But as with the women, the schedulers have given a wink and a nod to the Cerundolo brothers, who are scheduled back to back on Court 12.

There are a lot of Americans on the big courts – all but Djokovic, really – and a couple of good ones on Court 17 as well.

Old standbys Stefanos Tsitsipas and 2022 finalist Casper Ruud are on the Grandstand.
