The US Open 2023 qualifiers are gradually reaching the final stages, with Eugenie Bouchard, Brandon Holt and Benoit Paire all suffering eliminations.
Bouchard, who is a former top-5 player and reached the fourth round of the New York Major in 2014 and 2015, suffered a 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 defeat to Dayana Yastremska. The Canadian is yet to qualify for the main draw of the US Open since 2019.
Brandon Holt, who is the son of former World No. 1 Tracy Austin, scripted one of the upsets of the New York Major last year as he beat Taylor Fritz in the first round. However, the 25-year-old will not be competing in the main draw in 2023 as he was beaten 7-6(4), 6-3 by Thiago Agustin Tirante.
Benoit Paire, the 20th seed, lost in the US Open qualifiers for the first time since 2011 as he was beaten 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 by Chinese Taipei's Hsu Yu-Hsiou.
In the women's singles qualifying, Katie Volynets is just a win away from reaching the main draw of the New York Major as she reached the final round after beating Celine Naef 6-3, 6-4. The 21-year-old will next face Erika Andreeva, who triumphed 6-4, 6-2 over Petra Marcinko.
Elizabeth Mandlik, daughter of 1985 US Open champion Hana Mandlikova also booked her place in the final qualifying round by beating Anna Bondar 6-3, 7-6(6). The American will next take on South Korean Han Na-Iae.
Another player who reached the final round of qualifying was Sachia Vickery, who triumphed 2-6, 6-2, 6-2 over 31st seed Viktorija Golubic. The 28-year-old will next face 2009 US Open semifinalist Yanina Wickmayer for a place in the main draw at Flushing Meadows.
