The final Grand Slam of the year is here with the 2017 US Open. Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Venus Williams and many big names will all be in action, though the tournament is also missing several big names. Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, Stan Wawrinka, Andy Murray, Milos Raonic and Kei Nishikori are all out for various reasons.
US Open 2017 live stream: Times, TV schedule and how to watch Day 1 online
Simona Halep will face Maria Sharapova and Venus Williams will be in action on Monday when the US Open gets underway.


Play on Monday will include Simona Halep, Venus Williams, Alexander Zverev and more. Play will begin at 1 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN through 6 p.m., at which point ESPN2 will pick up coverage through approximately 11 p.m.
Online streaming of all matches and simulcasts of the ESPN coverage will be available online at WatchESPN and via the ESPN App.
Zverev is one of the more interesting names on the day. He will be taking on the unseeded Darian King, and as the fourth seed, he’s the favorite in the bottom half of the bracket. Both Nadal and Federer are in the top half of the bracket, and while Murray was originally scheduled to match up with Zverev in the semifinals, he pulled out of the Slam with a hip injury.
Williams will open her US Open bid against the unseeded Viktoria Kuzmova. Halep, still searching for her first Grand Slam win, will have the toughest match of the day as she faces Maria Sharapova.
Sharapova is playing in her first Grand Slam since a doping ban 15 months ago. She is an unseeded player and it’s a tough draw for Halep in the opening round. Garbine Muguruza, the women’s third seed, will have an easier matchup but no gimme in the form of Varvara Lepchenko.
Below is all the viewing information you need for Monday’s start of play, as well as a list of singles matches involving seeded competition.
