Sara Sorribes Tormo reached the third round of the U.S. Open last year, her best Grand Slam performance. She was eliminated in the first round of each of her first three tournaments before progressing to the second round in 2020 and the Round of 32 last year. Sorribes Tormo’s best result this year came in Palermo last month, where she was a semifinalist. During the North American swing, the 25-year-old has recently competed in three tournaments. She advanced to the second round in both Toronto and Cleveland, but was eliminated in the first round in Cincinnati.
109th in the world Viktoria Kuzmova has advanced to the main draw of the US Open for the fifth time. In her previous four appearances, the 24-year-old Slovak player has all lost in the first round. Kuzmova, a former World No. 27, advanced to the main draw by defeating Austria’s Julia Grabher, Germany’s Nastasja Maria Schunk, and Bulgaria’s Viktoriya Tomova in the first, second, and third qualifying rounds, respectively. She dominated all three matches, winning in straight sets in each. Kuzmova has a season record of 26-16, including qualifiers and lower level tournaments. She has reached the ITF final and a semifinal this year, but has yet to achieve anything significant on the tour.
