The draw for qualifying takes place later today, with Jacob Fearnley and Harry Wendelken (if his retirement in Canada wasn't serious) expected to be in it. Aidan McHugh, Anton Matusevich and Emma Raducanu should be in the main draw, but Jack Draper and George Loffhagen did not enter.
Harry W gets the Swiss lad, Henry VON DER SCHULENBURG.
He;s the lad who beat Ewen Lumsden in the first round of qualis in Junior Wimbly and lost to Jack Draper in R1 on the MD. He's 9th seed in the qualis here.
Jacob is drawn against, Francesco PASSARO (ITA), JWR 102. Jacob beat him 6-2 6-1 last week in Canada.
Both matches have been put last on their respective courts not before 8pm BST (probably a bit later) as they were playing in Canada yesterday. Live scores are available on the US Open website
Both matches were postponed until today because of the weather, and the pair have made sluggish starts. Jacob lost the first set 6-1 but has just broken for a 5-3 lead in set 2. Harry lost the first set 6-3 but is 3-1 up in the second.
Anton has drawn Wimbledon doubles champion Otto Virtanen, who Anton beat in the singles competition. He is 4th on court 9 while Jacob's final qualifier opens proceedings on court 4
Boys R1
Aidan Mchugh v Q
Anton Matusevich v Otto Virtanen (FIN)
Aiden has been drawn against a qualifier, no sign of Anton, and Emma has got M. Bilokin.
it's funny, when I read the draw last night for the first time , aidan was the only Brit I'm sure but Anton was there this morning. Could he have been added or just a mistake?

Yes, really strange, I looked on the USO site when I was posting and it wasn't there, but it is now.
Although his match was more competitive than the other three final qualifiers (Harry's conqueror won 0 & 4 in those) he was broken in game 11 and the Romanian served it out
