Shapovalov qualified for the US Open's main draw. The 18-year-old from Richmond Hill, Ont., defeated Jan Satral of the Czech Republic, 6-7 (2), 6-1-6-3, in Friday’s third-round qualifying match to clinch his spot in next week’s action.
Fellow Canadian Vasek Pospisil will face world No. 42 Fernando Verdasco of Spain when he plays in his second straight Grand Slam main draw. He's ranked No. 78.
As for Genie Bouchard, she will open the tournament against No. 83 Evgeniya Rodina of Russia in next week’s main draw. Bouchard, ranked No. 74, arrives at the U.S. Open after reaching the second round at the WTA Premier event in New Haven.
Francoise Abanda didn't qualify for the main draw. She lost to Slovakia’s Viktoria Kuzmova, 6-3, 6-4 on Friday. To be honest, i'm not surprised.
