A Flushing Meadows è tempo di Us Open. L’ultimo Slam stagionale non vedrà in campo la detentrice del titolo Flavia Pennetta, ma ad aprire le danze sull’Arthur Ashe Stadium ci penserà la finalista del 2015 Roberta Vinci contro Anna-Lena Friedsam. A seguire la numero 2 al mondo Kerber e Nadal, nella sessione serale tocca al campione in carica Djokovic e la statunitense Keys. Per l’Italia subito in campo Francesca Schiavone contro la numero 9 del tabellone Svetlana Kuznetsova sull’Armstrong, Sara Errani contro Rogers sul campo 12 e Andreas Seppi contro Robert sul 14.
