  1. It's great to have any tennis at all, but it will take some getting used to seeing the players wearing masks as they walk out separately into the huge Arthur Ashe Stadium - with absolutely no-one in the crowd. Some pre-match interviews take place, with the microphone connected to a long pole.

    The first of Andy Murray's three Grand Slam titles came back in 2012 at the US Open as he edged out Novak Djokovic in a five-set thriller.

    But injuries have seen Murray miss out on the New York event in two of the past three years.

    Hopefully the injury worries are firmly in the past and Murray begins his campaign today against an opponent ranked in the top 50 in the world.
