DAY THREE HIGHLIGHTS  Only one player can emerge as the 2015 US Open champion, but three who’ve won the title before are back in action on Wednesday. Reigning champion Marin Cilic returns to Stadium during the day session, while 2011 winner Novak Djokovic plays under the lights. Rafael Nadal, a two-time titlist, makes a rare trek to , which will also be the setting for what may (or may not) be Mardy Fish’s final match. Also in action on the grounds are No. 7 seed , No. 10 Milos Raonic and No. 17 .

 On Ashe, Cilic returns to the scene of his greatest triumph – the same court where he swept Tomas Berdych, and in straight sets en route to the 2014 US Open title. Cilic has not enjoyed the same success this season, posting a 19-13 record without reaching a final. The Croat’s opponent is 25-year-old qualifier Evgeny Donskoy, who won singles and doubles matches to lead back from an 0-2 deficit against last month.

 In the night session, Djokovic looks to build off a dominant first-round performance. The World No. 1 dropped just three games in 71 minutes against Joao Souza, winning all but three points on his first and committing only seven unforced errors. Djokovic, a five-time US Open finalist, meets Austrian Andreas Haider-Maurer, who is 0-5 lifetime against Top 10 players.

 On Armstrong, Fish brings a 5-3 -to-head advantage into his match with fellow 33-year-old Feliciano Lopez. Fish has announced that the US Open is his last tournament, and he is not playing men’s or mixed doubles. That means that the 18th-seeded Lopez is potentially Fish’s final opponent. Lopez is playing his 55th straight major, second among active players to Federer’s 64.

 Later on Armstrong, Nadal seeks to extend his fine play at the final event of the season. The eighth- seeded Spaniard is 21-1 in his last 22 matches at the US Open, including title runs in 2010 and 2013 and a runner-up finish in 2011. He missed the 2012 and 2014 tournaments due to injury. Nadal was one of eight Spaniards in the top half of the draw (8-1) to reach the 2R. Nadal’s opponent in the day session is 5-foot-7 Argentine Diego Schwartzman, who is 0-5 lifetime against Top 10 opponents.

 In the finale on Armstrong, World No. 1 Bob and meet and in an All- American 1R doubles match. The same two teams met earlier this summer at Wimbledon, with the top seeds defeating Johnson and Querrey in four sets. The reigning champion Bryans are looking for their first Grand Slam title of 2015 (17th career) after winning at least one major title in each of the last 10 years.

 On Grandstand, No. 10 seed Raonic meets former Top 10 player Fernando Verdasco and 2008 finalist/No. 19 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga takes on Marcel Granollers.
