Apart from Murray, two other British men are hoping to play at Flushing Meadow. Alex Bogdanovic faces American Blake Strode in the first round of the qualifying tournament and British number three Jamie Baker has been drawn against Joao Souza.
Once again the Spanish dominate the top 32 draw with 7 players,followed by the USA with 4.And look how things have changed over the last year,with the once powerful France now having only 1 player in the top 32.
Four British women are competing in qualifying - former US Open junior semi-finalist Laura Robson faces a tough first-round test against former world number four Jelena Dokic. Katie O'Brien takes on Ukrainian Lesya Tsurenko and Naomi Cavaday plays American Julia Cohen. Heather Watson will face Spaniard Lourdes Dominguez Lino.
