2019 US Open Men's Order of Play: Friday 30 August

Friday, 30 August 2019 at 14:44

The second week is in sight at the US Open and a big Order of Play is set for Friday 30 August with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic headlining it.

Federer will begin proceedings on the Arthur Ashe Stadium in the afternoon with his tie against Great Britain's Dan Evans. Evans who has had a great return to form in 2019 after his previous drugs ban has previously faced the Swiss ace at Wimbledon and Australian Open so could be the player to cause an upset especially if he loses his first set for a third straight match.

Novak Djokovic has looked in great form and he will also be on the Arthur Ashe court after 7pm against Denis Kudla. Kudla accounted for Dusan Lajovic in the last round after ending the Grand Slam career of Janko Tipsarevic so he will hope for another Serbian scalp at the US Open.

Daniil Medvedev who many believe is the one player who can end the run of the big three at the US Open has Feliciano Lopez to deal with in one of the ties of the session also. Kei Nishikori and David Goffin will also be in action as proceedings continue at Flushing Meadows.
