Also, ESPNEWS will present a whip-around show from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. covering all the action with the ESPN tennis team providing the commentary.

The draw will map out the path top-ranked Novak Djokovic must take to complete the Grand Slam – winning all four Majors in a calendar year — last accomplished by a man in 1969, by Rod Laver. A win would also break the tie for men’s career Major trophies at 20 that he shares with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. The tournament’s defending champions are Dominic Thiem, who snared his first Major title with the win but will not be able to defend his title because of injury, and Naomi Osaka, who tallied the third of her now four career Major championships.
