US Open 2017 results LIVE: Day 2 latest scores as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal progress
THE US OPEN 2017 will see its two biggest stars, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, take to the courts on the second day of action, each opening their account with what should be routine first-round encounters.
Federer will split the crowd in the Arthur Ashe Stadium, who will be torn between cheering for the five-time champion or the 19-year-old American Frances Tiafoe.
They have already met on court in the US as Tiafoe gave a good account of himself in Miami earlier this year but was well beaten in a first-set tie-break and lost 7-6, 6-3.
Nadal meanwhile, who is second-favourite behind his Swiss rival, plays world No 85 Dusan Lajovic.
The Serbian will be hoping for an improvement on their only previous meeting when he lost all three sets and won just four games in the last 16 of the 2014 French Open.
Express Sport will bring you all the latest results from Flushing Meadows as they come in. However, just before 4pm local time (9pm in the UK), play was abandoned for the day on the outside courts due to heavy rain in New York.
It means only matches on Arthur Ashe, including those involving Federer and Nadal, will be completed on the second day.
