Canada’s Bianca Andreescu, Liam Draxl have final qualifying matches pushed at US Open

NEW YORK — Canada’s Bianca Andreescu will have to wait until Friday to complete her mission of making the main draw of the U.S. Open tennis Grand Slam.

The Mississauga, Ont., native was up 2-0 against Slovenia’s Tamara Zidansek when their final round qualifying match was suspended due to rain.

On the men’s side, Liam Draxl of Newmarket, Ont., also had his match in the final round of qualifying against Australia’s Tristan Schoolkate pushed to Friday.

Fellow Canadian Carson Branstine fell 2-6, 6-2, 6-2 to American Robin Montgomery earlier in the day, costing her a chance to make the main draw.

The first round of the tournament is set to begin on Sunday.

Montreal’s Félix Auger-Aliassime and Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., are set on the men’s side, while Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., is on the women’s side.
