  1. Blue skies, busy schedule

    After Tuesday's washout, the sun made a welcome return to Manhattan this morning, which is handy as we have 87 singles matches on the schedule. Grand Slam tournaments can generally accommodate one day lost to weather, and the forecast suggests the worst is over for this US Open. Famous last words.

  2. Thiem & Berdych through to second round

    Dominic Thiem made short work of Alex de Minaur earlier today, as he reached the second round courtesy of a 6-4 6-1 6-1 win.

    The sixth seed was 1-0 up in the third set when rain curtailed play and it took Thiem just half an hour to tidy things up today.

    He will play either Cypriot veteran Marcos Baghdatis or America's Taylor Fritz in the second round.

    And Tomas Berdych got off to a winning start at Flushing Meadows, fizzing down 36 winners as he beat Ryan Harrison 6-4 6-2 7-6 (7-4).

    Game, set and match - Millman

    Millman 6-3 1-6 6-4 6-1 Kyrgios

    And there it is. A slapped forehand goes long, and Nick Kyrgios' time at Flushing Meadows is over.

    World number 235 John Millman has a warm handshake and words of comfort for his compatriot, who is now struggling to get his broken racquet back into his bag. Somehow, it's oddly fitting.

  4. Aljaz Bedene and Andrey Rublev are warming up out on court eight.

    But, over on Louis Armstrong, Nick Kyrgios is about to exit the US Open...

  5. In the women's draw

    Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza and Petra Kvitova begin their second-round matches against Ying-Ying Duan and Alize Cornet respectively.

    Eighth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova starts her US Open campaign against Marketa Vondrousova, while Agnieszka Radwanska takes on Petra Martic.

    Big-serving CoCo Vandeweghe is third on Louis Armstrong Stadium, playing compatriot Alison Riske, and Connecticut champion Daria Gavrilova faces America's Allie Kiick.

    Caroline Wozniacki is the final match on court 17, as she plays Russia's Ekaterina Makarova.

  6. Kyrgios struggles with shoulder

    It's been an up-and-down performance for the 14th seed, complete with a barney with the umpire and a ruined racquet.

    A sloppy first set was followed by a powerful second, before the Australian started to struggle with his right shoulder.

    He retired from the Washington Open with a shoulder injury - and was booed off court by spectators - in the build-up to the US Open

    The same shoulder seems to be troubling him against John Millman. Kyrgios got a ball boy to help him work the shoulder and, when that didn't work, he called a medical time-out.

    He's in a real sticky situation and it'll take some nous to work his way out of this one - he's currently trailing Millman 6-3 1-6 6-4 4-1.

  7. Speaking of Nick Kyrgios...

  8. Bedene begins British charge

    There's just three Brits left in this year's US Open, and all of them are in action today.

    First up is Aljaz Bedene, the British number three and world number 48, who will take on Russia's Andrey Rublev on court eight.

    This is Bedene's fourth US Open and he's only passed the first round once at Flushing Meadows, back in 2015.

    Kyle Edmund and Cameron Norrie also begin their second-round matches today, playing Steve Johnson and Pablo Carreno Busta respectively.

  9. Best of the rest

    Grab the coffee pot - there's a ton of tennis on today.

    Nick Kyrgios is currently in action on Louis Armstrong Stadium, where he's taking on fellow Australian John Millman.

    Elseowhere, ninth seed David Goffin plays Julien Benneteau on court 5 and Albert Ramos-Vinolas takes on Nicolas Mahut third on court 9.

    Bright young thing Alexander Zverev is last on Grandstand Court, while big brother Mischa plays Benoit Paire on court 4.

  10. On Arthur Ashe today

    Eugenie Bouchard was a bit surprised to be first up on Arthur Ashe today, and it wasn't a happy experience for her, as she lost 7-6 (7-2) 6-1 to Russia's Evgeniya Rodina.

    Juan Martin del Potro is currently leading his first round match against Henri Kaasonen 6-3 4-4, and they'll be followed by Maria Sharapova, who takes on Timea Babos.

    Ninth seed Venus Williams starts the night session as she takes on France's Oceane Dodin from midnight.

    Jo-Wilfried Tsonga then ends the day with his second round meeting with world number 69 Denis Shapovalov.
