U.S. Open Qualifiers Brave a Gantlet Into the Main Draw - The New York Times

U.S. Open Qualifiers Brave a Gantlet Into the Main Draw - The New York Times: "For some, the qualifying draw of the United States Open is a launching pad. For others, it is a place to land, comfortably or not, after enjoying greater heights in tennis. For 16 men and 16 women, it was a gantlet to reach the main draw.

Kateryna Bondarenko, a quarterfinalist at the United States Open in 2009, worked her way back into the main draw of the tournament with three wins in qualifying, the last a 6-1, 6-1 romp on Friday afternoon over 123rd-ranked Nao Hibino."
