In the women's singles qualifying, four Americans are into the final round. Sachia Vickery is just a match away from making her sixth appearance in the main draw at the US Open. She beat Zhu Lin 6-3, 6-4 and will next face Cristina Bucsa.

Whitney Osuigwe defeated Mirjam Bjorklund 6-3, 6-4 to reach the final qualifying round, where she will be up against Elisabetta Cocciaretto. A win would see the 20-year-old make her fourth main-draw appearance at the US Open.

Catherine Harrison and Ashlyn Krueger also booked their spots in the final qualifying round by beating Lizette Cabrera and Katie Boulter respectively. The former will face Eva Lys while the latter will be up against Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove.

Seventeen-year-old Czech youngster Linda Fruhvirtova, who reached the last 16 of the Miami Open, is one match away from entering the main draw of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career. She thrashed Carolina Alves 6-0, 6-2 and will next face Chloe Paquet.
