Briton Harriet Dart’s hopes of reaching the US Open are over after a straight-set defeat by Yanina Wickmayer on a rain-hit day of qualifying in New York.
Dart, 27, struggled with her serve in a 6-3 6-4 second-round loss to the Belgian, notching seven double faults and making only 50% of first serves.
The match was paused for a brief rain delay at 4-4 in the second set, with the players remaining on the court.
They finished the match but the rain got heavier and disrupted the schedule.
British pair Liam Broady and Lily Miyazaki could not finish their second-round qualifying matches and will return on Friday to complete them.
Broady, seeded 10th, was trailing 0-6 4-0 against Dutchman Jesper de Jong when the match was suspended, while Miyazaki was leading 6-4 3-1 against Valeria Savinykh.
To qualify for the final Grand Slam event of the year, which starts at Flushing Meadows on Monday, players must win three matches this week.
Six British players have already qualified directly for the main draw in New York as a result of their ranking, with Andy Murray, Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans, Jack Draper, Katie Boulter and Jodie Burrage discovering their first-round opponents in the draw earlier on Thursday.
