Two-time champions Rafael Nadal (2010, 2013) and Novak Djokovic (2011, 2014) will take to Arthur Ashe Stadium with the newly-constructed roof available to ensure that their matches are completed. Play begins on Louis Armstrong Stadium with 2014 US Open champion Marin Cilic, who returns to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in top form after winning the ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati title. Nadal will contest the first men’s match on Arthur Ashe Stadium against familiar foe Denis Istomin. The Spaniard has a 4-0 FedEx ATP Head 2 Head record against Istomin, including a straight-set victory en route to his first US Open title in 2010. Nadal is 11-0 in US Open first-round matches dating back to his tournament debut as a 17- year-old in 2003 (d. Vicente). Istomin has lost 20 straight matches against Top 10 opponents (1-31 overall). Djokovic opens the night session against former World No. 14 Jerzy Janowicz. The defending champion has posted a 33-2 hard-court record this season with titles at Doha, the Australian Open and ATP Masters 1000 events in Indian Wells, Miami and Toronto. Djokovic has reached the semi-finals or better nine straight years at the US Open. Janowicz has been limited to two tour-level matches this season due to injuries. He remains the youngest major semi-finalist since Juan Martin del Potro won the 2009 US Open title (2013 Wimbledon). Cilic, who is 12-1 in his last 13 US Open matches, will be challenged by Rogerio Dutra Silva. The Croat captured the Cincinnati title on August 21 in much the same manner that he won the 2014 US Open title. He played 28 Grand Slam tournaments before securing his first major and 70 ATP Masters 1000 events before winning his first championship at the level. To do so, he ended World No. 2 Andy Murray’s career-long 22-match winning streak. A pair of All-American match-ups also highlight Monday’s order of play. In the final match on Louis Armstrong Stadium, No. 26 seed Jack Sock meets 18-year-old Taylor Fritz in a rematch of their five-set, first-rounder at the Australian Open. Sock, who won gold and bronze medals at the Rio Olympics, has swept his last eight encounters with countrymen, while Fritz has lost 11 straight matches against Top 60 opponents. On the brand-new Grandstand, Fritz’s fellow 18-year-old Frances Tiafoe takes on No. 20 seed John Isner, who reclaimed his spot today as the No. 1 American in the Emirates ATP Rankings. The 6-foot-11 Isner is 3-0 against other Americans at the US Open. 2016 US OPEN – Day 1 Media Notes Monday, August 29, 2016 Page 2 of 28 [1] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs [PR] Jerzy Janowicz (POL) First Meeting Djokovic is 45-2 in Grand Slam 1R, falling at Australian Open in 2005 (l. to No. 4 Safin) and 2006 (l. to Goldstein) Djokovic has not lost to a player ranked as low as Janowicz since 2010 Belgrade QF (ret vs No. 319 Krajinovic) Janowicz is 5-14 lifetime vs Top 10 opponents and 0-1 vs World No. 1 (l. to Nadal in 2013 Paris 3R) Janowicz is on 4-match losing streak at majors dating back to 2015 Roland Garros 2R (l. to L.
