Miyazaki joins Andy Murray, Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, Jack Draper, Katie Boulter and Jodie Burrage in the main draw for the US Open after beating Slovakian Hruncakova 6-3 4-6 6-4.

Broady, who enjoyed a run to the last 32 at Wimbledon earlier this year, for was foiled in his quest to make it through to the main draw in New York, losing 6-4 3-6 6-3 to Sho Shimabukuro of Japan.
