U.S. Open tennis tournament: Belarusian athlete Irina Shimanovich contends for a space in the primary bracket

In the ongoing qualifying rounds for the 2021 US Open, fourth-seeded Iryna Shymanovich secured her place in the main draw with a hard-fought victory against Austria's Sinja Kraus. Shymanovich's win came in three sets, with scores of 6:3, 2:6, and 7:5.

This victory marks Shymanovich's latest success in a tennis tournament and signifies her progress in the rankings. The Belarusian player started her qualifiers strongly but had to work harder to advance, demonstrating her resilience and determination.

Shymanovich's win in the US Open qualifying is not the only notable achievement for Belarusian players this year. Aryna Sabalenka, due to her high ranking, was a direct main-draw entrant for the 2021 US Open. However, the number of other Belarusian players who might have tried qualifying rounds can't be confirmed without specific data from 2021 qualifying draws and results.

If both Shymanovich and fifth seed Kristina Dmitruk qualify, it would be a record number of Belarusian players in the US Open main draw - five. Dmitruk, who played earlier, also won her qualifiers in a similar fashion, setting the stage for a potential record-breaking appearance.

Direct entries in the US Open main draw are held by Aryna Sabalenka, Aliaksandra Sasnovich, and Victoria Azarenka. The presence of these prominent players, along with potential qualifiers like Shymanovich and Dmitruk, promises an exciting showing for Belarus in this year's US Open.
