Former world number one Marat Safin brought the curtain down on his Grand Slam career with a first-round defeat by Jurgen Melzer at the US Open.
Safin, 29, who won the US Open in 2000, lost 1-6 6-4 6-3 6-4 on his final visit to Flushing Meadows before retirement.
Later on Wednesday, third seed Rafael Nadal begins his campaign against France's Richard Gasquet.
And Roger Federer continues his quest for a sixth straight title against Simon Greul in the first night match.
Veteran Frenchman Fabrice Santoro, 36, also saw his Grand Slam career come to an end with a 6-4 6-3 6-3 defeat by 24th seed Juan Carlos Ferrero.
But Santoro's compatriot Gael Monfils, the 13th seed, swept into the second round with a 6-1 6-4 6-3 win over compatriot Jeremy Chardy.
