GB quartet closer to US Open

Four British players have reached the second qualifying round for the US Open, while four crashed out in the opening stage.

GB men's number three Josh Goodall beat Spain's Miguel Angel Lopez Jaen 6-3 6-3, but he as was the only British male to make the second round with defeats for Alex Bogdanovic, Alex Slabinsky and Richard Bloomfield.
There was a better showing though from the British women, with three of the four representatives making it through to the second qualifying stage.
British number two Elena Baltacha, who has never reached the main draw for the US Open, saw off Poland's Anna Korzeniak 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 6-0.
Melanie South also progressed after beating Alberta Brianti of Italy 6-2 3-6 6-3, while Katie O'Brien battled past Croatia's Petra Martic 3-6 6-4 6-0.
There was frustration though for Naomi Cavaday who crashed out to Slovakia's Kristina Kucova, despite winning the first set, she eventually lost 1-6, 6-3, 6-1.
Britain only have two confirmed representatives in the main draw so far, Andy Murray and Anne Keathovong, who is currently ranked 86th in the world.
