Lleyton Hewitt will again be in action on Tuesday at the US Open as he aims to continue his thrilling run through the draw.

Hewitt will take on 21st seed Mikhail Youzhny, a player he owns a 5-1 winning record against.

The Aussie veteran is contesting the fourth round at Flushing Meadows for the first time in seven years, and should he win, he would progress to a Grand Slam quarterfinal for the first time since Wimbledon in 2009.

Also in action on Day 9 will be John Peers, contesting his first ever Grand Slam quarterfinal in doubles with partner Jamie Murray.

Junior action also continues, with Thanasi Kokkinakis flying the Aussie flag in singles and also taking to the doubles court along with Harry Bourchier, Bradley Mousley, Sara Tomic and Naiktha Bains.
