The Brits are back on Thursday at the US Open, with Katie Boulter, Jack Draper and Dan Evans all in second-round action – back to back to back – live on Sky Sports.

British No 1s Boulter and Draper, as well as Evans – fresh from his US Open record-longest match against 23rd seed Karen Khachanov – are all set to play on Court 5 one after another.

Boulter is second on court, but first among the Brits – from approximately 6pm – for her meeting with Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, while Draper takes on Facundo Diaz Acosta at the conclusion of that match from roughly 8pm.

Then Evans follows for what the British men’s No 3 will surely hope will be a quicker contest against Mariano Navone following his five-hour and 35-minute epic from the first round, though his match is likely to drift into the evening session at Flushing Meadows.
