Sixteen men and 16 women will earn a place in the 2022 US Open main draw when qualifying concludes on Friday. Thanks to a host of thrilling matches on Thursday, we now know who's still in with a chance.
From six Americans including a resurgent Whitney Osuigwe (pictured above) to three talented teenagers from the Czech Republic, read on to learn more about who stood out the most on Day 3.
American Chris Eubanks wins nearly three-hour battle
It's mathematically impossible to play more games at the US Open than Christopher Eubanks played in his Round 2 win over Gregoire Barrere. The 26-year-old from Atlanta needed 2 hours and 50 minutes to take out the Frenchman in a match that featured three tiebreaks: 7-6(6), 6-7(2), 7-6(4).
Eubanks saved a set point in the opener, and shook off missed opportunities at a crucial point in the decider. He failed to covert a 0-40 lead on Barrere's serve to win the match at 6-5, but won both the last three and final five points of the tiebreak. The former All-American at Georgia Tech served 17 aces in victory.
Eubanks, who's spent some time moonlighting as a tennis broadcaster when not playing this season, is bidding to make his fourth US Open main draw. Last year, he came through qualifying to get there. To match that feat this year, he'll have to beat Italy's Raul Brancaccio, a 25-year-old ranked No. 207.
Eubanks and his compatriots Osuigwe, Brandon Holt, Sachia Vickery, Ashlyn Krueger and Catherine Harrison will all play for a spot in the main draw on Friday.
Trio of Czech teenagers cruise through to Round 3
In Prague, they'd say Pojd. Czech teenagers Sara Bejlek, Linda Fruhvirtova and Linda Noskova cruised through to the final round of qualifying with the loss of just 12 games combined in six sets.
Noskova kicked off the day on Court 17 and needed just 55 minutes to dispatch 2014 Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard, 6-2, 6-3, before her name twin, and fellow 17-year-old, was even more impressive on Court 11 in a 6-0, 6-2 triumph.
Fruhvirtova won the first eight games against Brazil's Carolina Alves and was on court for just 64 minutes.
Bejlek, who ousted former world No. 10 Kristina Mladenovic in her first round match on Wednesday, ended the day with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Australia's Priscilla Hon. It's the 16-year-old who might have the most intriguing final-round opponent, too. She'll face Great Britain's Heather Watson, the one-time world No. 38 who's dropped just six games in her two wins.
In her Round 2, Watson defeated No. 19 seed Vitalia Diatchenko, 6-2, 6-3.
No. 1 seeds Bogdan, Lestienne fall
Sometimes, it's not good to be No. 1. Both of the No. 1 seeds in qualifying, Romania's Ana Bogdan and France's Constant Lestienne, were upset in Round 2 matches.
Bogdan led by a set before eventually losing to Mexico's Fernanda Contreras Gomez, pictured below, in three sets, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, while Lestienne was beaten by his fellow Frenchman Geoffrey Blancaneaux, 6-4 6-7(4), 6-3.
Contreras Gomez is bidding to reach her third Grand Slam main draw of the season after having successfully qualified for both Roland Garros and Wimbledon. The Vanderbilt University product ultimately made a splash in Paris by reaching Round 2.
For a spot in her first US Open main draw, she'll face Germany's Tamara Korpatsch.
After Tennis Plays for Peace, Snigur wins again
Daria Snigur was one of five current or former Ukrainian tennis players who represented their country with pride on Wednesday night during Tennis Plays for Peace, a special exhibition event that'll help the US Open raise more than $1.2 million for humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine
Less than 24 hours later, Snigur was back on court in a much more competitive setting. She was victorious there, too.
The 2019 Wimbledon junior champion, 20, came back from a one-set deficit to top 2009 US Open semifinalist Yanina Wickmayer 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 and move through to the final round of qualifying in her second career trip to New York as a pro.
She has yet to reach the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament in her fledgling career. To break new ground, the No. 22 seed will have to beat Japan's Nao Hibino.
