US Open 2026: Harriet Dart, Toby Samuel, Francesca Jones & Harry Wendelken qualify for main draw

A record four British players have qualified through for the US Open 2026 main draw at Flushing Meadows, the most Britons to come through qualifying at a Grand Slam outside Wimbledon since the 1988 Australian Open. Toby Samuel and Harry Wendelken secured their spots to make their New York main draw debuts, while Harriet Dart defeated compatriot Heather Watson 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 and Francesca Jones beat Joanna Garland 6-4, 6-1. They join four other British players — Katie Boulter, Cam Norrie, Arthur Fery and Jan Choinski — who received direct entry into the singles draws, with the tournament beginning on Sunday 30 August.
