Maths whizz Lily Miyazaki feels like her number has finally come up after qualifying for the US Open.<\/p>\n

The Tokyo-born Brit had a wild card for Wimbledon last year, but has now reached the main draw of a grand slam under her own steam for the first time.<\/p>\n

Miyazaki, who earned a masters degree in mathematical science in the United States four years ago, beat Slovakia\u2019s Viktoria Hruncakova in the final round of qualifying at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old now has to solve the puzzle of how to get past Russian Margarita Betova on Monday for a first grand slam match win.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlaying Wimbledon last year was amazing,\u201d said Miyazaki. \u201cBut I think that, as a wild card, I don\u2019t know how to explain it, but I don\u2019t know if you truly believe like you belong.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I played Caroline Garcia, obviously she\u2019s a pretty good player and I was really nervous going into that match. So hopefully this time I feel like I belong here. So that experience definitely helped me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miyazaki joins Katie Boulter and Jodie Burrage as the British contingent in the women\u2019s draw.<\/p>\n

She also shares a coach, Craig Veal, with British number two Burrage, who was in the stands supporting her compatriot.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor her to qualify, it was killing me,\u201d said Burrage, 24. \u201cWhen she was one-set all, I had to go to practice and throughout it I was shouting at my physio asking what the score was.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was hardly focusing on my practice because I wanted to be there watching her, but it\u2019s so good she has qualified, with me and \u2018Boults\u2019 being in the main draw.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice when you are friends and you can enjoy success with them and hopefully next week we can do some damage in the main draw. We\u2019ve all got the games to be able to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burrage faces Russian Anna Blinkova on Tuesday, while British number one Boulter meets France\u2019s Diane Parry.<\/p>\n
