The 1st Thread/The 2012 US Open Thread For 8/23/12: Day 3 (Qualifying Day 3)

Crucial Day 3 of qualifying, the penultimate round of the tournament to get into the tournament.

For today, all courts including show court 17 are in live action starting at 11AM.

On the women's side, Citi Bank winner Maggie Rybarikova has another tough test against Serbian teenager Aleksandra Krunic, with Anastasia Rodionova takes on Caroline Garcia in another marquee match. Plenty of close 50/50 contests on the women's side, so here's the rest of them.

De Brito/Svitolina, Glushko/Davis, Ormachea/Keys, Cepelova/Tanasugarn, Chan/Fischman, Castano/Pegula, and the Pliskova twins, both their matches.

On the men's side, so many intriguing matches, from Dustin Brown vs Tim Smyczek to Aljaz Bedene/Daniel Kosakowski. Here are a few of the others:

Klahn/Trungelliti, Rosol/Gonzalez, Seifert/Bubka, Mello/Ganessi.

Full schedule is here.

And as you see in the highlighted photo, the main draw comes out in approximately over an hour's time at the timing of this post.
