Qualifying Complete at US Open
This usopen.org article has the details. How ironic that the only wild card to make it through to the main draw is Youlia Fedossova of France, who received her wild card via a trade with the French Federation. Jamie Hampton received the U.S. wild card to play qualifying at Roland Garros this year; she lost in the first round. Bob Greene has an account of Hampton's loss in the first round of qualifying in New York at tennisrecruiting.net.
The news on the women's side was particularly disheartening this year; not a single U.S. female made it through, with Ashley Weinhold, Ansley Cargill and Angela Hayes all losing the final match.
The men did much better, with four Americans getting through qualifying: Jesse Witten, Jeff Morrison, Mike Russell and Robert Kendrick claiming spots in the main draw.
Marcia Frost of collegeandjuniortennis.com has covered the qualifying all four days. Make sure you check out her stories and photos over the weekend.
