BRITAIN’S Billy Harris and Lily Miyazaki are through to the second round of qualifying at the US Open.
Harris, who played in the main draw of a major for the first time at Wimbledon in July, held off Argentina’s Juan Manuel Cerundolo to clinch a 6-3 2-6 7-5 win.
Earlier, Miyazaki claimed a 6-2 6-4 victory over Dalila Jakupovic of Slovenia.
The 28-year-old won three qualifying matches in New York last year to make her main draw debut a Grand Slam.
Oliver Crawford fell to a 6-4 6-4 defeat by the USA’s JJ Wolf, while Jan Choinski and Fran Jones play later on Tuesday.
They will attempt to join Harris and Miyazaki, along with fellow Britons Heather Watson, Paul Jubb and Sonay Kartal, who all won on Monday, in the second round.
Watson takes on second seed Aliaksandra Sasnovich on Wednesday, while Jubb faces Finland’s Otto Virtanen and Kartal plays Simona Waltert of Switzerland.
