Jack Draper is set to navigate the qualifying rounds for the upcoming US Open, having missed out on a direct spot in the main draw. His current world ranking of 147th reflects a challenging year marked by a recurring bone bruising injury in his left arm, which has limited his tournament appearances since last year.

Draper is expected to return to competitive play at the DC Open in Washington on July 27. Meanwhile, fellow Britons Arthur Fery and Emma Raducanu are also positioned outside the top 32 seeds. Fery's impressive run to the Wimbledon semi-finals has propelled his ranking to 36th, while Raducanu, the 2021 US Open champion, is ranked 37th.

Other British players confirmed for the main draw include Cam Norrie, Jan Choinski, and Katie Boulter. The tournament, beginning August 30, will feature reigning champions Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner. Sinner aims to defend his title against Carlos Alcaraz, who is also entered despite recent injury concerns. The US Open will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
