Arthur Cazaux, ranked 75th in the world, was just one step away from the main draw of the US Open.
After victories against Lajal (6-4, 6-1) and Clarke (6-3, 6-4) to advance to the third round, the Frenchman faced Jan-Lennard Struff today, an opponent he had defeated in July during the quarterfinals in Kitzbühel on clay.

But on the American hard court, Cazaux succumbed to the German's game, losing 7-6, 6-3 in 1 hour and 47 minutes. He can still hold out hope of entering the main draw as a lucky loser, having been the top seed in these qualifiers.
