Roger Federer va juca in sesiunea de seara cu Santiago Giraldo, Columbia. La sosirea in New York, elvetianul a transmis suporterilor ca are aceeasi "foame de victorii", dar a recunoscut ca sarbul Novak Djokovic detine cele mai mari sanse sa triumfe la aceasta editie: "Are un sezon incredibil. Este printre favoriti, daca nu cumva este chiar marele favorit".
