The US Open starts this Monday (Aug 26) and runs through Sept. 8, featuring men’s and women’s singles, doubles, and mixed doubles matches contested on the outdoor hard courts of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens.

The event is one of four Grand Slam tournaments and features the best players in the world, with a focus on young talent.

This year’s tournament will be played on hard courts, and both men and women play best-of-five-set matches. Some matches are played in day sessions, while others are scheduled for evenings in Arthur Ashe Stadium and other venues.

Matchups and times are subject to change, so check the US Open’s player page for official details. Full lists of the men’s and women’s fields, including qualifiers, will be finalized Thursday.
