Luck and bad luck for the Austrian women at the US Open 2021: luck, because after the draw it is clear that either Barbara Haas or Julia Grabher will move into the second round of qualification. Bad luck because the two were drawn against each other. The most difficult task on paper awaits the winner of the game: in all likelihood, Ana Konjuh, who is in first place.
According to the WTA world rankings, Haas is an easy favorite as number 171 - Julia Grabher is ranked 198th.
Jurij Rodionov and Danilo Petrovic have to deal with the men. The Serb is currently at position 177 in the ATP world rankings. Sebastian Ofner opens against Jason Jung from Taiwan, who is currently listed at number 168.
