About the 2022 U.S. Open Qualifying Round
The qualifying rounds will take place throughout the week, with the 128 competitors on the men’s and women’s sides whittled down to 16 each by the end of the week. Those 16 will then compete in the U.S. Open proper, which begins on Monday, Aug. 29.
All of the qualifying matches will take place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. This year’s competition will be watched especially closely after a qualifier, then-18-year-old Emma Raducanu, went on to win the U.S. Open in 2021.
This year’s U.S. Open, which will also appear on ESPN platforms, will be the final one for all-time great Serena Williams, and the qualifying rounds will determine her first-round opponent.
