US Open schedule and UK start times: Order of play for Monday August 31

George Flood31 August 2020

The 2020 US Open begins on Monday, August 31 with something of a depleted field due to a combination of Covid-19 fears and injury.

The likes of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Ashleigh Barty, Simona Halep and Bianca Andreescu have all withdrawn from the tournament, which is without both of its defending singles champions.

Six of the current WTA top eight have dropped out, while a seeded male player tested positive for coronavirus on the eve of the Grand Slam.

However, there are still plenty of stars on show at Flushing Meadows, including Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka.

Here’s the US Open schedule for Monday August 31 (with UK start times)...
