*Two* Irish players qualified for the US Open men's singles draw --
but they probably won't be around long. Conor Niland faces #1 Djokovic
and Louk Sorenson plays #5 Soderling.
The luckiest qualifier is Slovak Lukas Lacko -- who lost to Marsel
Ilhan in the qualies, but is in the main draw against the Donald
Young.
Either someone withdrew, or there were 17 -- not 16 -- qualifying
spots, the 17th going to Lucky Lacko.
