Tomic's main draw drought continues as Australians struggle at US Open
Bernard Tomic is one of three Australian players failing to advance at the US Open qualifiers.
Bernard Tomic continues his struggle to reach the main draw of a grand slam tournament, as he was defeated by Lloyd Harris in the US Open qualifiers. Tomic, ranked 179th in the world, lost to the South African 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 in a hard-fought match. Other Australian players, including Emerson Jones and Alex Bolt, also fell short in their first-round matches.
The US Open main draw begins on August 30 at Flushing Meadows, New York. The last time Tomic made it into a major main draw was during the 2021 Australian Open. Since 2016, he has competed in 10 qualifying events for grand slams but has yet to advance to any. Despite Tomic's persistent effort, his successful return to the main draw of a major tournament seems to be a distant dream.
