US Open Qualifiers: Sonay Kartal and Lily Miyazaki Qualify for the Final, Heather Watson and Paul Jubb Lose

Britain’s Sonay Kartal and Lily Miyazaki are through to the final round of US Open qualifying, but Heather Watson and Paul Jubb have been beaten.

Kartal, who has never reached the main draw in New York, beat Switzerland’s Simona Waltert 6-3 6-2.

This was followed by Miyazaki’s comeback, 1-6, 6-2, 6-2, against Liechtenstein’s Kathinka von Deichmann.

However, Watson was beaten 6-1 6-4 by second seed Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus while Jubb lost 6-3 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 to Finland’s Otto Virtanen.

Billy Harris, Francesca Jones and Jan Choinski will all compete in qualifying later Wednesday.

Players must win three matches to advance to the main draw of the US Open, which begins Monday.

Jack Draper and Dan Evans are the only British men already in the singles draw, while Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu and Harriet Dart are in the women’s draw.
