Defending men’s champion Djokovic, world number one and first seed, meets Roberto Carbellas Baena of Spain as he bids to become the first man since Federer in 2008 to win consecutive titles in this event.
Federer last won the title in 2008 and faces Sumit Nagal in the first round. Britain’s Daniel Evans and Cameron Norrie are in action on Court 10, while Johanna Konta plays Daria Kasatkina on Court 17. Andy Murray considered playing in the doubles tournament but opted against it to continue his singles comeback.
Williams, who started an argument with umpire Carlos Ramos in her defeat against Naomi Osaka in last year’s final, begins her campaign against her old foe Maria Sharapova, facing her for the first time in the US Open.
