Moodie's US Open Agony
 Wesley
Moodie faces an agonising wait to
see if he has a place in the main
draw of this year’s US Open after
losing in the final round of the
qualifying competition on Friday.
After defeating Takao Suzuki and
Brian Dabul in the first two rounds,
the 28-year-old South African went
down 6-7(6), 7-6(3), 6-3 to
Frenchman Thierry Ascione in New
York.
The Monte-Carlo Academy star will
now have to hope for a Lucky Loser
place in the main draw, which begins
at Flushing Meadows on Monday,
August 27.
“It was a high quality match against
Ascione,” said David Sammel. “It’s a
real shame as the momentum has been
building well. There’s a slight
chance he will get in and will
deserve it if he does.”
The final round of the qualifying
competition will be completed on
Saturday, with the highest ranked
losers being eligible for Lucky
Loser spots should main draw players
pull out before it begins.
