Day three of the Western & Southern Open will see some epic match-ups and one of them is Novak Djokovic facing-off against Ricardas Berankis. The Serb comes as the downright favorite to win the clash having beaten Berankis in the 2013 US Open. It was a long time ago and the Lithuanian will be keen to make amends. He's been an improved player over the years and his first round win over Tommy Paul means he won't be a cakewalk for Djokovic.

Ahead of the match on Monday, August 24, here's everything you need to know:

Time

Both players will start off their second round at 5 pm ET on August 24, 2020.

Venue

The Grandstand of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center will see these two talented players take on each other.

Where to watch?

The matches can be watched live on The Tennis Channel and ESPN 2.

How to live stream?

ATP Tennis TV is the most preferred option to live stream the matches. Fans can subscribe by paying $14.99 and live stream the Western & Southern Open from August 22. With full replays and realtime stats, the service offers a complete package. It can be watched live on the phone, iPad or Android tablet, Chromecast, or Airplay to your TV.

Pre-match buzz

On Sunday August 23, Djokovic pulled out of the doubles of the Western & Southern Open with a neck strain. Essentially, the first question is to see if he's fit enough to take on Berankis. Djokovic has a 18-0 win-loss record in 2020 and should he be deemed fit to play, he will be keen on maintaining the record. Meanwhile, Berankis has a 7-5 win-loss record in 2020 and hasn't played in New York in 2019. This will be a tough test for him despite going up against an injured Djokovic.

Who will win?

Berankis comes in as the underdog and will look to take advantage of Djokovic's injury who will be trying to ensure he won't aggravate it ahead of the US Open on August 31. However, a loss isn't what he would be looking for and he still remains the favorite to win the second round.
