Sebastian Korda will try to reach the quarterfinals in Winston-Salem in his first event back from injury.
The American had been out since Roland Garros due to a stress fracture in his right shin, but he's back in action in Winston-Salem this week, winning his first match back a few days ago against the Czech Republic's Vit Kopriva, 6-3, 6-4. Today, he'll open play on Stadium court with a first-time meeting against Poland's Kamil Majchrzak, hoping to reach his third quarterfinal of the year—and first since Miami in March.
The entire round of 16 takes place at the ATP 250 event today.
Korda and Majchrzak are just two of 16 players battling it out for eight quarterfinal spots today. With Top 2 seeds Stefanos Tsitsipas and Tallon Griekspoor going out in the second round, Luciano Darderi, Gabriel Diallo and Lorenzo Sonego are the highest seeds remaining at No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5. Also among the Wednesday line-up are former world No. 9 Roberto Bautista Agut and former world No. 18 Sebastian Baez.
