US Open Qualifying: Former Grand Slam finalists Anderson, Bouchard advance to second round

Former US Open runner-up Kevin Anderson and 2014 Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard were among the notable names who advanced to the second round of qualifying at the US Open on Tuesday.

Anderson, back on tour this summer after retiring in 2022, defeated Oleksii Krutykh 6-3, 7-5 to set up a second round clash against 19th seed Tomas Machac.

Bouchard, who reached the last 16 in New York in 2014 and 2015, opened her qualifying campaign with a 6-2, 6-3 win over wildcard Katherine Hui.

The Canadian will meet 12th seed Dayana Yastremska, of Ukraine, in the second round.

Other notable names winning on Tuesday on the men’s side included former top 20 player Benoit Paire, from France, and 22nd seed Dominic Stricker, from Switzerland, while top seed in qualifying Jaume Munar went down to Enzo Couacaud in straight sets.

On the women’s side, former French Open semi-finalist Tamara Zidansek and American Elizabeth Mandlik also won while 16th seed and former Roland-Garros runner-up Sara Errani was beaten by 18-year-old Erika Andreeva, the older sister of 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva, who is already into the main draw on a direct entry.
