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

Friday, 30 August 2019 at 15:00

Day 5 of the US Open begins shortly with a bumper day on the Women's and Men's side set with Serena Williams, Ashleigh Barty and Karolina Pliskova all in action.

Williams will play after Roger Federer takes to the court on the Men's side and will take on Karolina Muchova. The Czech ace saw off Hsieh Su-wei in the second round and has a habit for giant killings at the US Open.

She took out Garbine Muguruza last year at that stage to rise to prominance. Could she do the same against Serena?

Following that Madison Keys who has been impressive all hard court season will face another impressive American in Sofia Kenin. Also a match set for the Arthur Ashe stadium and before Novak Djokovic takes to the court, it is set to be one of the ties of the round.

As is Maria Sakkari taking on Ashleigh Barty. Sakkari smashed through Camila Giorgi 6-1, 6-0 before seeing off Shuai Peng 6-7, 6-4, 6-2 on Wednesday. Barty though has the edge in head to head with three wins so will it be a fourth to reach the fourth round for the Aussie?

Also on the cards is the battle of the Ukrainians with Elina Svitolina who impressed against Venus Williams facing Dayana Yastremska. This is also on the Louis Armstrong court and will be part of the evening session.
