The US Open has returned with its signature flair as the main draw action kicked off on August 26 and is set to continue through September 8, culminating in the exciting finals week.

Coco Gauff and Novak Djokovic's US Open 2024 2R opponents

Defending champions Coco Gauff and Novak Djokovic began their title defense with impressive first-round victories over Varvara Gracheva and Radu Albot respectively.

Gauff dropped just two games in her match, securing a dominant 6-2, 6-0 win. Djokovic also dominated throughout his encounter, winning 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 without much difficulty.

Gauff will face German veteran Tatjana Maria in the next round. Maria advanced with a solid 6-2, 6-3 victory over Solana Sierra. The American holds a slight edge over Maria in their head-to-head record, having won their only previous encounter in Auckland last year.

Djokovic, meanwhile, will go up against compatriot Laslo Djere, who pulled off an impressive five-set win over Jan-Lennard Struff in his opener. Djokovic leads their head-to-head 2-0, including a win in their last match at this venue last year where he came back from two sets down to win in the third round.
