NEW YORK: The 146th edition of the U.S. Open kicks off on Sunday, with former finalist and local favorite Jessica Pegula launching her bid to win her maiden Grand Slam, while Novak Djokovic continues his quest for a record 25th major.
Two-time winner Venus Williams will make her 26th appearance in the main draw, while Marta Kostyuk, who reached the semi-finals in the last two majors, looks to carry that momentum into the last Grand Slam of the year.
