Sky Sports scheduled live coverage of US Open action in New York featuring Coco Gauff, Taylor Fritz, Naomi Osaka and Alexander Zverev.

The broadcaster said its coverage would include scores, updates, news, commentary and results through its dedicated tennis channel. However, the supplied live blog was unavailable and provided no accessible match information.

The material does not confirm whether any of the four players had begun their matches, nor does it identify opponents, scores or results. The timing and status of the scheduled matches also could not be independently confirmed.

Separate Sky Sports reporting said Serena and Venus Williams lost their women’s doubles first-round match to Maya Joint and Chan Hao-Ching. The match finished 6-3, 6-7 (8-6), 7-6 (10-7).

That result was reported separately from the unavailable live blog and does not provide an update on the scheduled singles action.
