The 2015 US Open gets underway on Monday, Aug. 31 and will wrap up on Sunday, Sept. 13. Defending champion Marin Cilic will be playing, but he’s struggled this year, while last year’s runner-up Kei Nishikori is having one of his best seasons to date. However, they’re both going to be overshadowed by top seed and world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
US Open 2015: How to watch Week 1 matches
The US Open starts on Monday, and here’s how you can keep up with the Week 1 action.

Djokovic has already won the Australian Open and Wimbledon this season, with the two tournaments separated by a loss in the French Open finals to Stan Wawrinka, who is also in the tournament. Djokovic looks just as good as ever right now and he should be favored for the tournament. He’s not expected to face much opposition in his opening-round contests.
Roger Federer is still playing amazing tennis and his longevity is remarkable. Andy Murray is just behind the two of them and can’t seem to get a good streak going. The other big name is Rafael Nadal, but this year has been a rough one for him and he’s the eight seed in the tournament.
