Who has the most grand slam tennis titles in the open era?

Johanna Konta begins her US Open campaign against the dangerous Daria Kasatkina, who beat the Brit in their two previous meetings.

Konta arrives in New York on the back of reaching the semi-final at the French Open and a surprise last eight exit at Wimbledon, which resulted in a testing exchange in a press conference about her mentality to progress further in Grand Slams.

"It's the first time, with French and Open and Wimbledon, that I had gone deep into consecutive slams so that was a different situation for me," she said. "I've been enjoying being out here and putting the work in on the practice court so I am as ready as I can be to compete."

Konta was beaten in straight sets in the first round last year and has never made it to the quarter-finals at Flushing Meadows.

The two-week tournament will not be shown live on television, so here’s everything you need to know about how to watch it.
