Its been a roller coaster of results for Venus, who reached the semifinals of Wimbledon last month but then fell in the opening round of Rio in singles and doubles with sister Serena. However, Venus teamed with Rajeev Ram and reached the mixed-doubles final. On Tuesday, Venus, who made the US Open quarterfinals last year, will meet Kozlova for the first time.Juan Martin del Potro versus Diego Schwartzman, third match in Louis Armstrong Stadium (Watch)Fresh off a magical Rio run, del Potro has to be the most dangerous unseeded player in the draw. The 6-foot-6 Argentine stunned Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal at the Olympics, only to lose a hair-raising four-set final against Andy Murray. Del Potro, who made it clear that his goal was nothing more than to be able to play pain-free in Rio, won the 2009 US Open. Since then, he has undergone four wrist surgeries and has missed more than two years worth of action. No question, del Potro will be a sentimental favorite here in New York.No. 1 Serena Williams versus Ekaterina Makarova, 7 p.m. ET in Arthur Ashe Stadium (Watch)All eyes will be on the world No. 1, who will be vying to break a tie with Steffi Graf as the Open era leader in Grand Slam titles. But there are concerns over Serenas level of play and health as she enters the final major of the season. She lost in the third round of the Olympics to Elina Svitolina and then pulled out of the Western & Southern Open with an ongoing shoulder injury. Serena is 4-1 lifetime against Makarova, including two wins against the Russian at the US Open.No. 2 Andy Murray versus Lukas Rosol, after Serena-Makarova (Watch)The red-hot Scot will be riding the momentum of his Wimbledon and Rio titles into New York. Murray won 24 straight matches, a streak that was stopped in the Cincinnati final by Marin Cilic. Still, Murray is rife with confidence, and many believe he, not defending champ Djokovic, will leave New York with the title. Murrays first opponent, however, wont be a pushover. It could also be contentious. Last season, Rosol bumped Murray on a changeover in Munich, to which Murray retorted: No one likes you on the tour. Everyone hates you. Murray is 2-0 in his career against Rosol.No. 14 Nick Kyrgios versus Aljaz Bedene, fourth match in old Grandstand (Watch)?Big things have been expected from Kyrgios, 21, since he stunned Nadal at Wimbledon two years ago. The Aussie is finally showing his game can be just as loud as his antics. Hes won two titles this season, including the Atlanta Open just a few weeks ago. But can he leverage his stellar play in New York? Last year, Kyrgios had the unfortunate luck of drawing Murray in the opening round. But this year, he takes the court ranked a career-high No. 16 (and seeded 14). The courts in New York suit his hard-hitting game well.

With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position. MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Amid all the very-public speculation about where he will be coaching his next game, Tom Herman still was able to motivate his Cougars.He just didnt get the result he wanted.In what might be the sought-after coachs final game with No. 18 Houston, Riley Ferguson threw a 10-yard touchdown pass with 19 seconds left in a wild fourth quarter Friday to lift Memphis to a 48-44 win over the Cougars.Herman guided the Cougars (9-3, 5-3 American Athletic Conference, No. 20 CFP) back from a 17-point halftime deficit.We had a decision to make at halftime on whether we were going to give up and give in or if we were going to come out in the second half and fight. Our guys fought, Herman said. Obviously it wasnt quite enough, but I think our guys have a lot to be proud of in terms of how they fought in the second half.Asked by ESPN before the game to address reports that he might be close to a deal with another school, Herman said, Honestly, dont believe anything that you read.Greg Ward gave Houston a 44-41 lead with 1:29 remaining with his fourth TD toss, a 3-yard pass to Chance Allen.But Memphis (8-4, 5-3) drove 72 yards in five plays and snapped a six-game losing streak against Houston after Ferguson found Anthony Miller for a 10-yard touchdown reception with 19 seconds left. The teams combined to score 31 fourth-quarter points.What a game. Im just so very proud of this football team, this coaching staff and everybody associated with our program, said Mike Norvell, the first Tigers coach to lead Memphis to bowl eligibility in his first season. Im so glad the game went the way it did with the ups and the downs, because that provided us with another opportunity to show the heart and the character and how our guys would respond.Houston has a terrific football team. But today our guys would not be denied, he said.Ward was spectacular, completing 47 of 67 passes for 487 yards. He also rushed for a team-high 65 yards.Memphis struck early against a Houston defense that stifled then No. 3-ranked Louisville and Heisman candidate Lamar Jackson in a 36-10 home win last week.The Tigers scored touchdowns on all three of their first-quarter drives, with Ferguson going 12 of 13 for 187 yards and two touchdowns in the quarter. His 67-yard pass to Phil Mayhue gave Memphis the early lead before Doroland Dorceus made it 14-3 with a 2-yard touchdown run.Houston held Louisville to 312 total yards and 18 first downs in its win over the Cardinals last week.dddddddddddd By the end of the first quarter Saturday, Memphis had amassed 222 yards and three touchdowns.THE TAKEAWAYHOUSTON: Perhaps all the rumors about Herman were a distraction, Houston struggled early on defense and allowed 555 total yards.MEMPHIS: Memphis was already bowl eligible for the third straight year, marking just the second time in program history it will play in three consecutive bowl games.POLL IMPLICATIONSHouston lost to a team it was favored against for the third time this year, and it could fall out of the Top 25 a week after its dominant win against Louisville.KEY NUMBERSHOUSTON: Linell Bonner was the main recipient of Wards huge passing game, finishing with 17 receptions for 235 yards and a touchdown. Yeah, hes got a knack for getting open in zones and closing catches. He was a huge factor in the game, Herman said of Bonner.MEMPHIS: Miller had 15 receptions for 169 yards and two touchdowns. Before catching the winning touchdown, Miller had a 35-yard touchdown reception that put the Tigers ahead 41-37 with 3:49 left in the fourth quarter.UP NEXTHOUSTON: The Cougars will wait to find out what bowl theyre headed to and whether theyre losing theyre losing Herman. The 10-win goal is still there, Herman said. Im not sure the timing of any loss hurts any worse, but these guys have so much to be proud of. Theyve earned 22 victories in the course of two seasons, 3-0 against Top 25 teams, 2-0 against Top 5 teams. So theres a lot to hang our hat on.MEMPHIS: The Tigers were already out of the running to make the AAC title game, and will wait to find out where theyll play in the postseason. Every bowl game is a reward, Norvell said. Wherever we have the opportunity to go, were gonna be extremely grateful and were gonna prepare to go be victorious. Thats eight wins. We didnt sign up for that. We want to maximize every opportunity, so the next step in front of us is to finish as bowl champions.LAST WORDWe had a slant by Anthony Miller, and it was man (defense). I like Anthony Miller on any corner in the nation. Try and guard him. Good luck. Just threw the ball to him and he did the rest, Ferguson said about hooking up with Miller for the winning touchdown.
