Great Britain's Kyle Edmund is through to the second qualifying round of this year's US Open after beating Peter Polansky of Canada in straight sets.

South African-born Edmund progressed with a 6-3 6-4 triumph completed in just under an hour and a quarter.

The 20-year-old is bidding for what would be a maiden appearance in the first round proper of the senior US Open having already made the breakthrough in each of the other three majors, with the Australian and French Open achievements coming earlier this year.

Great Britain's Brydan Klein claimed an excellent win in the first round of qualifying for the US Open on Tuesday.

Australian-born Klein beat Serbian Dusan Lajovic 4-6 6-1 6-2, to move two victories away from a place in the main draw for the year's final grand slam tournament.

Twenty-five-year-old Klein, 178th in the world, recovered from dropping the first set to dominate against a player 71 places above him in the rankings.
