Australia's US Open stocks climb to 20 in the main draw

Australia will have its biggest contingent at a US Open in almost half a century after a record six players successfully qualified for the season's final grand slam in New York.

Spearheaded by world No.10 Alex de Minaur, Australia will have 20 players in the singles main draws at Flushing Meadows, the same number as 1979 when the great Evonne Goolagong Cawley led the charge.  

De Minaur and fellow seed Alexei Popyrin are among 10 men in the top 100 who gained direct entry alongside women's veterans Daria Saville and 2022 quarter-finalist Ajla Tomljanovic.
