Former Finalist Anderson, Goffin & Fognini Headline US Open Qualifying Draw

Kevin Anderson, the 2017 finalist, headlines the US Open qualifying draw this week at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre at Flushing Meadows.

The two-time major finalist will begin his attempt to reach the main draw against Oleksii Krutykh. The South African, who returned from retirement last month in Newport, is competing in major qualifying for the first time since the 2010 US Open.

The former World No. 5 is not the only star playing qualifying in New York. The 2017 Nitto ATP Finals runner-up, David Goffin, Fabio Fognini, Benoit Paire and Maxime Cressy are among the players who are also in the field.

Another competitor to watch is John Millman, who has not played a tournament since the Cherbourg ATP Challenger Tour event in February. The Australian stunned Roger Federer at the US Open in 2018 en route to the quarter-finals.

The top qualifying seed is Jaume Munar and the second seed is Cristian Grain. #NextGenATP players competing in qualifying include Arthur Cazaux, Hamad Medjedovic, Dominic Stricker and Shang Juncheng.
