JACOB FEARNLEY was among the British winners at US Open qualifying in New York. Fearnley advanced to the third and final qualifying round with a hard-fought 6-4 6-7 (4) 6-4 victory over Frenchman Luka Pavlovic that lasted two hours and 18 minutes. The 25-year-old Scot appeared to be coasting when 4-2 ahead in the second set, but Pavlovic broke back and then won the tie break after saving a match point at 5-4. Fearnley, however, kept his composure to break at 3-2 in the deciding set, then saved three break points in the final game before closing out victory. Toby Samuel beat Billy Harris 4-6 6-1 6-4 in an all-British battle and Harry Wendelken also progressed with a 5-7 7-6 (4) 6-4 victory over Switzerland’s Remy Bertola. Jack Pinnington Jones started well against Finland’s Otto Virtanen before losing 2-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-3. Harriet Dart fought back to beat US teenager Kristina Penickova 5-7 6-0 6-3 and reach the final round of women’s qualifying. “She’s a hell of a player, 16 years old, and I really don’t know what the world is feeding these young ones now,” Dart told Sky Sports. “She was playing some phenomenal tennis and I felt a few key moments didn’t go my way, but I knew if I could stick in there I would see if she could keep that level for the next two hours. “I tried to stay there and I was really happy to close it out in the end.” Dart will play fellow Briton Heather Watson for a place in the main draw after she beat Spaniard Angela Fita Boluda 6-4 5-7 7-6 (5).
