Hello and welcome to the US Open 2026 - day seven! I can’t believe we’re nearly at the halfway stage already, with the top takeaways so far (along with the $100 caviar-topped chicken nuggets) being that:

• It’s so good to have Carlos Alcaraz back – even though it’s not the same without Jannik Sinner

• The end game appears closer for Novak Djokovic - and has already come for Stan Wawrinka and Gael Monfils – while Alex de Minaur is at a career crossroads

• Aryna Sabalenka is working her way back into form – though success isn’t the only thing she’s been smelling

• Coco Gauff has served notice with her start – while Elena Rybakina, Iga Swiatek and Mirra Andreeva have impressed too (Gauff, Rybakina and Jessica Pegula are still pushing Sabalenka for the world No 1 spot)

• Taylor Fritz is arguably the best-placed home hope to end the 23-year wait for an American male singles champion

• Naomi Osaka’s tennis hasn’t been as eye-catching as her latest look

• Eala-mania has taken over New York

• Britain desperately needs Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu back fit

• And Alexander Zverev, looking shaky in his first slam as the No 1 seed, has likely turned into a zombie in the city that never sleeps after two 2am, five-set finishes

Zverev is on the night shift again on day seven, scheduled second on Arthur Ashe in the evening session, after Alexandra Eala v Iva Jovic offers us a tantalising glimpse into the future of women’s tennis – but our focus is on the day session, with Fritz, Gauff, Swiatek, Rybakina and Andreeva all in action, along with Amanda Anisimova, Madison Keys, Flavio Cobolli, the rising American Michael Zheng, Australia’s sole survivor Dane Sweeny and the vanquisher of Felix Auger-Aliassime, Karen Khachanov.

Play gets under way: at 11am local time/4pm BST. Don’t go anywhere!
