Djokovic, meanwhile, headlines the night session as he takes on Alexei Popyrin, the 28th seed from Australia, from midnight, with two-time Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka to follow when she faces Ekaterina Alexandrova, seeded 29th.

Also in action on Friday is another US men’s hopeful in 13th seed Taylor Fritz, who faces Francisco Comesana from roughly 8pm on Louis Armstrong Stadium.
Earlier on that court, Marta Kostyuk – fresh from beating Britain’s Harriet Dart – takes on America’s Emma Navarro, while Paula Badosa and Elena-Gabriela Ruse, who knocked out Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova in the second round, kick off proceedings from 4pm.
In the evening session on Louis Armstrong, two former US Open finalists are in action as Madison Keys first faces Elise Mertens, before former men’s fourth seed Alexander Zverev goes against Tomas Martin Etcheverry
