Olympics: Alex de Minaur still to overcome Wimbledon hip injury in time for Paris Games as Andy Murray announces that the Olympics will be his last tournament.
In the moments after qualifying for the US Open on Friday, Destanee Aiava burst into tears before hugging those who had supported her quest to return to the biggest stages in tennis.
“Even on the rails, I was fully aware of how I was acting and what I was doing I could still put myself in someone else’s shoes and be like, ‘If I was watching someone do this, I would not be driving past right now.’’. It is a very weird, disordered way of thinking,” she said. Joining Aiava, who held two set points against then-world No.1 Simona Halep in the first round of the Australian Open in 2018, are four Australian women and an Aussie male with a remarkable tail of resilience.
Veteran Arina Rodionova, who is enjoying a career-best year aged 34, will play in her third US Open after defeating Thailand’s Mananchaya Sawangkaew 6-4 6-2. The success of the Australians on Thursday in New York boosts the local contingent playing the US Open to 20 and it is the first time since 2011 when the nation has had qualifiers in both the men’s and women’s event.
