Myneni will face Pedja Krstin from Serbia in the third round. India's Saketh Myneni is one win away from making the singles main draw of the US Open as he advanced to the final Qualifying round with a 7-6 (6) 6-4 win over local lad Mitchell Krueger. The big-serving Indian had lost in the third Qualifying round at the Australian Open and bowed out in the second round of the French Open early this year. In the second set, it was Myneni, who drew first blood in the seventh game and served out the match in the 10th after battling hard for one hour and 30 minutes. However, Pedja goes into the contest 1-0 up in Head-to-Head record with a win over the Indian in Turkey in May last year.
