Tennis Quarterfinal Showdowns: Winston-Salem, Cleveland & Monterrey

Tennis Quaterfinals

ATP — Winston-Salem Open (ATP 250)

This week’s Winston‑Salem Open, an ATP 250 event ahead of the US Open, has delivered unexpected thrills — none of the top eight seeds survived into the quarterfinals. The highest-ranked player remaining is Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (World No. 42).

Matchups & Betting Insights:

  • Jaume Munar vs. Marton Fucsovics
    A clash of form versus finesse. Fucsovics has been dominant all week, smoothly navigating his matches. Experts cite him as offering solid value — especially given his fluid hard-court play.
  • Sebastian Korda vs. Miomir Kecmanovic
    Korda, back from injury, looks to find form fast. His experience and return game may give him the edge, as many tip him to advance in straight sets.
  • Yunchaokete Bu vs. Botic van de Zandschulp
    Bu has stunned several opponents, eliminating top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas and Timur Navone. His consistency makes him the preferred value pick over van de Zandschulp, known for erratic swings.
  • Hamad Medjedovic vs. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard
    Medjedovic brings greater consistency and recent form. Bookmakers see him slightly ahead, with his aggressive baseline play tipped to shine.

Top Tip: Marton Fucsovics stands out as a reliable play, though Korda’s return to form is an enticing long‑shot.

    Second-seeded Alexandrova faces defending champion Noskova, who is seeking to recapture her breakthrough form.
