Canadian Peter Polansky has completed grand slam history at the US Open as the qualifiers for the final grand slam of the year have been placed in the main draw. 

The 30 year old from Toronto became the first ever player to complete the grand slam of Lucky Loser spots after he lost to American Donald Young in final round qualifying yesterday. The world number 120 has received a lucky loser place in the main draw of all four grand slams this season in what will go down in the history books as an unremarkable feat.
