A resurgent Jason Kubler will make his US Open main-draw debut after being Tennis Australia's reciprocal wildcard for the year's final grand slam event.
The 25-year-old, currently ranked No.109 in the world, has enjoyed a breakout season highlighted by two ATP Challenger titles and a successful run through qualifying to contest his first Wimbledon main draw.
The most recent of those Challenger titles came one month ago on the hard courts of Winnipeg, Canada, a result that helped boost him to a career-high No.105 late last month.
The former world No.1 junior has won 15 of his last 20 matches and heads to New York in the best form of his injury-plagued career.
"I'm stoked to be awarded this wildcard," said Kubler, who has endured six knee surgeries in as many years.
"I've always dreamt of playing in the US Open main draw. I've worked pretty hard over the last 12 months and it's paid off."
Kubler joins fellow Australians Nick Kyrgios, Alex de Minaur, Matt Ebden, John Millman and Jordan Thompson in the men's main draw at Flushing Meadows, which gets under way on August 27.
Seven more Australian men - James Duckworth, Bernard Tomic, Alex Bolt, Marc Polmans, John-Patrick Smith, Thanasi Kokkinakis and Max Purcell - have entered the qualifying event that starts next Tuesday.
The Australian women's US Open wildcard will be awarded to the winner of an eight-player play-off event being held in New Haven this weekend.
The play-off field will be announced later this week.
