Canada’s Bianca Andreescu, Liam Draxl Have Final Qualifying Matches Pushed at US Open
Players one victory from the main draw will resume suspended matches from existing scores under a revised Friday order of play.
- On Thursday, rain interrupted play at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York, forcing officials to push the remaining US Open qualifying matches into Friday, August 28, 2026.
- Players like Zheng Qinwen and Bianca Andreescu face resumed matches on Friday, as they were mid-contest when rain halted play; Zheng led 6-4, 2-5 against Elena Pridankina and Andreescu was up 2-0 against Tamara Zidansek.
- While some results stand, including American Robin Montgomery's victory over Canada's Carson Branstine 2-6, 6-2, 6-2, other competitors like Liam Draxl of Newmarket, Ont., must wait until Friday to face Australia's Tristan Schoolkate.
- With main-draw singles opening Sunday, the postponements leave successful qualifiers with less recovery time before their next assignment at the Grand Slam, impacting preparation for the upcoming tournament phase.
- The revised schedule for Friday calls for an 11 a.m. ET start, though the forecast lists a 40% chance of rain, with showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms during the afternoon.
