    Iga Swiatek punishes a second serve by stepping inside the court to put away a forehand winner, before bringing up a break point.

    She takes it as Nadia Podoroska is unable to deal with a fizzing forehand across court.

    Just the start to the second set Swiatek would have wanted.

    Katerina Siniakova shows she won't be fazed by Naomi Osaka or her eye-catching outfits as she whips a forehand winner past the two-time champion to begin her first service game.

    The Czech is struggling to land her first serves and Osaka edges to 40-30 with a closing forehand from mid-court, but Siniakova escapes.

    It was at last year's US Open that Naomi Osaka reached her first Grand Slam semi-final since landing her fourth major title at the 2021 Australian Open.

    Her bid for a third US Open triumph was ended by runner-up Amanda Anisimova 12 months ago.

    Following her first-round win, Osaka has now claimed 29 main draw wins at the US Open - surpassing her 28 at the Australian Open.

    Another today would be her 80th Grand Slam match win - and would mean she has reached the third round at all four slams in the same year for only the second time in her career.

    It would be the first time she has achieved that since 2018, when she ended the season by winning her maiden Grand Slam title at the US Open.

    On Iga Swiatek making changes to her game...

    Those subtle changes. Players of this level, any small change really does sometimes take a while for it to be cemented into their routine.

    At least she is willing to take on board some information.

    Naomi Osaka's arrival, much anticipated as ever.

    I am looking at the outfit. Similar in style and length as the other day, it is a white-ish grey-coloured outfit.

    For her second-round match, Naomi Osaka walks out wearing a white jacket-dress hybrid embroidered with tennis racquets.

    Yep, that's the best I can do with my limited fashion knowledge. It looks cool though.

    She then removes that to reveal the shiny silver outfit which she'll compete in today.

    Iga Swiatek finds her first serve when it matters to save all three break points as Nadia Podoroska struggles to keep the ball in play.

    Deuce again.

    Nadia Podoroska wins only her second and third points on Iga Swiatek's serve as the Polish eighth seed nets a forehand before a double fault.

    Nadia Podoroska is on the losing end of a rally as the Argentine is overpowered by Iga Swiatek.

    Podoroska fights back well with some strong first serves but is taken to deuce as she puts a forehand into the net.

    The world number 449 goes on to secure the hold, but will now have to fight to stay in the first set.

    Naomi Osaka made her latest grand entrance at a Grand Slam as she arrived for her opening match at this year's US Open draped in a hooded white gown which featured cuttings of newspaper headlines about her career highlights.

    The four-time major champion wore an all-black basketball-style kit underneath, which she played in as she defeated Russia's Anastasia Zakharova 7-6 (8-6) 7-6 (7-3).

    Osaka, who is a two-time champion in New York, said the on-court look was inspired by NBA legend Allen Iverson, who is widely credited for introducing a sharper focus on fashion in his sport during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

    The 28-year-old continues her bid for a third US Open singles title against Czech doubles specialist Katerina Siniakova today.

    Nadia Podoroska needed a response after being outplayed in the last couple of games and she delivers with a brisk hold to love.

    Now, can she put some pressure on Iga Swiatek's serve for the first time?

    Iga Swiatek demonstrates her speed and agility as she scampers to the net to put away a Nadia Podoroska drop shot, drawing oohs from the crowd.

    The Polish eighth seed is well on top at the moment.

    Different conditions for Felix Auger-Aliassime to be playing in today.

    Auger-Aliassime first round took place in the latter hours of the evening on Monday.

    He comes out today avoiding the extremeness of the late evening.

    He is a tough customer and he has a lot of weapons out there.

    More strong serving from Iga Swiatek as she forces Nadia Podoroska way back behind the baseline, where she can't wrestle control of the game, to hold to love.

    Now it's Nadia Podoroska's turn to ease through her first service game as Iga Swiatek goes long with a couple of forehands.

    Both players have yet to settle into their range.

    Swiatek 1-0 Podoroska*

    It's a strong start from Iga Swiatek who, despite one double fault, sees out the opening game comfortably.

    Before the match the umpire told the players that due to a technical fault, replays will not be shown on the big screen.

    Instead, he has a tablet to watch them on.
