In total, 128 men and an equal number of women will be fighting for the trophy and a $3.5 million prize at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing, Queens. Novak Djokovic and Naomi Osaka won last year’s men’s and women’s singles titles, respectively.

The 16 women and 16 men who manage to secure at least three match victories could win at least $58,000 in main-draw first-round prize money.

This year’s U.S. Open will end on Sept. 8.

Some of the players to look out for the most in this year’s tournament include Belgian Kirsten Flipkens, 33, and 37-year-old Spaniard Tommy Robredo, both of whom are top-15 players. Robredo boasts a career-high ATP ranking of No. 5 (in 2006) and has gotten as far as the quarterfinals in the 2013 U.S. Open. He has successfully qualified for the tournament for the second consecutive year.
