US Open: Swiatek Aims for 9th Consecutive Win, Sinner Faces Shapovalov, Parry's Challenge, Day Seven Schedule
The US Open organizers have unveiled the schedule for the seventh day.
Last year's finalist, Gauff, will kick off the action on Arthur Ashe Stadium against Poland's Frech (starting at 5:30 PM French time), followed by the defending champion, Sinner. The world number one will face 27th seed Shapovalov in the third round.
Next, the recent Cincinnati champion, Swiatek, will take the court. Crowned here in 2022, she will be challenged by Russia's Kalinskaya (not before 1:00 AM French time). Finally, showman Bublik will close the day against American Tommy Paul.
On Louis Armstrong Stadium, spectators will first witness an all-Italian matchup between Musetti and Cobolli (starting at 5:00 PM French time). Osaka will follow against Kasatkina, then world number three Zverev will face the 2021 semifinalist, Auger-Aliassime (starting at 1:00 AM French time). Lastly, Brazil's Haddad Maia will wrap up the session against the world number 64, Sakkari.
On the other courts, Muchova will challenge her compatriot Noskova, and local favorite Anisimova will face Romania's Cristian (Grandstand). Meanwhile, De Minaur will need to confirm his seeding status (8) against Altmaier (Stadium 17). It's worth noting that the German is one of the players who has spent the most time on court following his marathons against Medjedovic and Tsitsipas (9 hours and 5 minutes).
On the French side, only Diane Parry is scheduled to play at Flushing Meadows, and she will have a tough task against the 27th seed, Kostyuk (starting at 6:30 PM on Court 5).
