The bottom half of the US Open men’s draw, where three-times champion Rafa Nadal resides, was blown wide open on Tuesday after four of the top-10 seeds crashed out at the first hurdle of the year’s final Grand Slam.

Austria’s Dominic Thiem, Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, Russian Karen Khachanov and Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut were all sent packing before Nadal restored some semblance of order to his half of the draw.

Meanwhile, former champion Sloane Stephens was stunned by Russian qualifier Anna Kalinskaya 6-3 6-4 in the first round of the US Open on Tuesday after an inconsistent display during which she was unable to find any sort of rhythm.

And defending champion Naomi Osaka had to dig deep to reach the second round of the US Open. The top seed needed three sets to overcome gutsy Russian Anna Blinkova 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2.

Here is the order of play for day three:
