It is time for the second round of the US Open and one of the most eye-catching matches sees former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini take on home hope Taylor Fritz.
As the highest-ranked American in the men's draw, 12th seed Fritz will be feeling the weight of expectation in Flushing Meadows and he made light work of Camilo Ugo Carabelli in the first round.
Berrettini, who is unseeded, began his campaign with a straight-sets win as well, beating Albert Ramos-Vinolas 7-6 6-2 6-3 to progress.
Matteo Berrettini v Taylor Fritz will be available on bet365's Sports Live Streaming platform and may also be available to watch on Sky Sports Tennis and Sky Sports Main Event.
Matteo Berrettini v Taylor Fritz will take place at around 1.15am BST on Thursday 29th August at Flushing Meadows in New York.
Fritz dominates the head-to-head with Berrettini 3-0 and won their last meeting in the final of the United Cup in 2023, with two of his three victories coming on outdoor hardcourts.
The American, a quarter-finalist at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year, has lost three of his last five matches heading into this encounter.
Berrettini saw off Spaniard Ramos-Vinolas in straight sets in the first round, having been a semi-finalist at Flushing Meadows back in 2019.
