NEW YORK (Reuters) - World number one Naomi Osaka begins her U.S. Open title defence on day two of the championships on Tuesday but there is likely to be as much interest in Cori "Coco" Gauff's main draw debut at Flushing Meadows.

In the men's draw, three-times champion Rafa Nadal opens the evening session on the main Arthur Ashe Stadium showcourt with his first round match against Australian John Millman.
