Overcoming three rounds of qualifying has its rewards: securing a spot in the main draw of the US Open. The 16 players who managed to survive the Qualy now know their respective opponents in New York, with several particularly attractive matchups in a first round that will begin this Sunday.

Among the most notable clashes is the one featuring Grigor Dimitrov, who qualified from the preliminaries, against the Australian Alexei Popyrin. There will also be a matchup between the Italian Andrea Guerrieri and the Australian Alex de Minaur, while the Frenchman Hugo Gaston will face a tough debut against Daniil Medvedev.

Another name to watch will be Rei Sakamoto, who, after defeating Kei Nishikori in the last round of the Qualy, will now face Aleksandar Vukic. His compatriot and peer will thus have the chance to extend his New York adventure in the main draw.
There will also be matches between survivors from the preliminaries and young players with a lot of potential. Nishesh Basavareddy will compete against Tristan Schoolkate, while Tomás Barrios Vera will play against Alexander Blockx. Dalibor Svrcina will go up against Valentin Royer, and Francesco Passaro will have Jesper de Jong as his opponent.

The rest of the matchups can be found in the tweet we have attached below. Thus, the 16 players coming from the Qualy already have their big opportunity. Now begins the real challenge of turning three preliminary victories into an unforgettable story in Flushing Meadows.
