Defending women’s champion Osaka opens the action against Anna Blinkova of Russia, while Nadal – who lifted the trophy at Flushing Meadows in 2010, 2013 and 2017 – comes up against Australia’s John Millman later in the day.
There will also be a lot of focus on 15-year-old American Cori Gauff, who makes her US Open debut against Anastasia Potapova in front of a home audience.
Gauff captured the attention of tennis fans all over the world with her startling Wimbledon run earlier this summer, when she defeated former world No 1 Venus Williams on her way to a fourth round exit against eventual champion Halep.
