Qualifying top seed, Igor Sijsling from Netherlands tumbled the French challenger, Josselin Ouanna, in straight sets at the US Open 2012, last of the four Grand Slam events taking place in Corona Park in Queens, New York City. He notched up a 6-3, 6-4 victory
against the world number 145 to power into the main draw on Friday.

Sijsling enthusiastically entered the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. He suffered the first blow in third game and went 1-2 down. However, the Dutch not only recovered in the very next game but capitalised on another break chance in the eighth
game to bag the opener with a 6-3 success.
Ranked 77th in the South African Airways ATP World Tour Rankings, Sijsling kept momentum rolling in the following set. He smoothly held his entire serves with self-assurance. The Dutch got the breakthrough in the fifth game and consequently clinched
