Off the back of her French Open triumph right here on SBS, world number two Ash Barty will compete for a second singles grand slam win for the year.
The Aussie star will avoid facing any top 10 seeds in the early US Open rounds after receiving an overall, favourable draw on Friday morning (AEST).
Barty is on course for a fourth round clash against world no.14 Angelique Kerber, with Karolina Pliskova, Serena Williams, Madison Keys and Elina Svitolina also on her side of the draw.
Grand slam icons Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic will also be in action, with Serena Williams pitted in a first round showdown against rival Maria Sharapova in their first ever US Open clash.
Following on from the drama of last year's final, reigning champion - and world number one - Naomi Osaka is joined by Simona Halep, Kiki Bertens, Petra Kvitova on the other side of the draw from Barty and Williams.
Federer (currently on 20 singles grand slams) is eyeing a 21st title, while 2017 US Open champion Rafael Nadal (18) would move to within one grand slam of the Swiss star if he reigns at Flushing Meadows.
World number 1 Djokovic (16) will have other ideas though - and the Serb is gunning for his third grand slam of the year to close the gap to one major behind Nadal.
Plus, eyes will be on Aussies Alex de Minaur, who faces Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert in the opening round, and Nick Kyrgios - after his Washington title win earlier this month.
The mercurial Kyrgios faces American Steve Johnson first up before a potential fourth round showdown against world no.8 Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Meanwhile, last year's fairy tale story John Millman will be looking to replicate his incredible 2018 US Open run despite being pitted in a difficult opening round clash with Nadal.
Watch it all unfold on SBS - LIVE, FREE and in HD or streaming online right here via SBS Sport or SBS On Demand.
