Gael Monfils, N.1 tricolor and 13th in the world, will face the Spaniard Albert Ramos (51st) at the end of the program on court 10.

Benoît Paire, new French N.2 after his final at Winston-Salem and 26th at ATP, will finish the day on court 7 against Canadian Brayden Schnur (92).

Richard Gasquet (36), he will open the day on court 11 against the Italian Matteo Berrettini (25th).

Osaka, whose place at the top of the female hierarchy is at stake in New York, faces the Russian Anna Blinkova (84) in opening program on the giant court Arthur-Ashe.

For his part, Nadal will open the night session on the same court against the Australian John Millman (60) who had dropped Roger Federer last year in the 8th finals.

Grandstand spectators will be able to enjoy a duel between the two Canadians expected at the highest level in the years to come: Felix Auger-Aliassime (19 to 19 years) and Denis Shapovalov (33 to 20 years).
