If you need to catch up on the day's action so far, here's a reading list:
- British teenager Emma Raducanu won on her US Open main-draw debut
- Alexander Zverev hopes to 'challenge' Novak Djokovic after a composed opening win
- Czech fourth seed Karolina Pliskova powered past American Catherine McNally to reach the US Open second round.
'I am exceptionally proud'
And here is Ash Barty: "I was disappointed not to be able to play last year but this year with fans has made it all the better, the city is buzzing and it is nice to share this with everyone here today.
"I am exceptionally proud, we made the right decisions for us - we trained and got ready, came into this year with the attitude it was going to be a different adventure for us, but it has been really enjoyable right from the start."
On hitting balls with golfer Ian Poulter: "I do love playing golf, it is a hobby of mine, I haven't played as much as I would have liked, I come from a golfing family so it is nice to hit a few balls."

Barty's second-round opponent was decided just as she wrapped up that victory.
She will face world number 78 Clara Tauson next. The Dane has just beaten France's Clara Burel 7-5 6-0.

She didn't look that happy, I wonder if sometimes you lose perspective as to how well your opponent is playing.

Barty seemed to work out what shot to hit that time.
She comes in for a forehand volley and lightly taps it over the net to bring up her second match point.

She is just not affected by the slice at the moment, Zvonareva, she is staying patient and it is almost like Ash Barty doesn't know what shot to hit at the moment.

How good was that spin from Ash Barty on the forehand side - she has such easy technique that it just makes it look like she was born this good.
