Sabalenka and Pegula begin proceedings on show courts
After easing through her business in her opening tie as World No.1, Aryna Sabalenka will return on Tuesday morning in the early hours to play Brit ace, Katie Boulter.
Boulter unlike her boyfriend, Alex de Minaur is still involved having won through qualifying and defeated Magdalena Frech to set up a tie with Sabalenka.
Jessica Pegula will play on the Lotus Court starting at the same time against Anna Blinkova. After losing in the final in Tokyo to Veronika Kudermetova, she received a performance bye so has had a few days grace compared to other players and now faces the Russian.

After easing past Ekaterina Alexandrova in the opener, she will return in her second match after the US Open.
Swiatek, Rybakina, Andreeva and Sakkari also in action
There is also the matter of Iga Swiatek aiming to return to some semblance of form. She faces off against Varvara Gracheva after her run to the Quarter-Finals in Tokyo losing out to Veronika Kudermetova.
Elena Rybakina who didn't play in Tokyo due to the performance byes fiasco and mainly due to illness swept aside recent Asian Games gold medalist, Qinwen Zheng. She faces Tatjana Maria.
While Mirra Andreeva who came through qualifying and made light work of Barbora Krejcikova and will now face Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. A revived Russian who lost to the eventual champion in Tokyo and both players in good form.
