US Open 2017 results from Day 1 feature Maria Sharapova and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Sharapova, who has only just returned from a 15-month drugs ban, was given a controversial wildcard by the US Open organising committee because her ranking was not good enough for an automatic spot.
She takes on Romania’s Simona Halep in the first round and while it may be her first major tournament since the Australian Open last year, Sharapova has never lost to her in their six meetings.
Tsonga is also taking on a Romanian in Marius Copil, but they have never clashed before so the Frenchman will be taking a step into the unknown.
