Maxime Cressy and James Duckworth will see each other in the second round of the 2022 Winston-Salem Open on August 24.
Maxime Cressy lost both of his final matches and is hoping to rebound strongly in Winston-Salem. Losses to Monfils in Montreal and Botic van de Zandschulp in Cincinnati aren’t terrible, but he’s expected to be more competitive than in those matches. The US Open is just around the corner, and many people are expecting big things from the Americans. Overall, he had a pretty good year, with 29 wins and 22 losses and his first trophy in Newport. On hard courts, his record is 13-9, which is adequate, but his form has been erratic recently. Players are learning how to play him, and he has yet to find an effective adjustment.
Few expected James Duckworth to beat Thanasi Kokkinakis in the first round of Winston-Salem, but he did. It was not only a great win, but also a comeback win for the Australian, with the final set being a close tiebreak. Duckworth is a good tennis player, but he hasn’t been playing well recently. Before beating Kokkinakis, he lost four matches, some of which were against players who would not be considered ATP talent. He’s only 9-15 on the year due to limited playing time, making this victory even more impressive. Duckworth will not outhit many players, but he is a nuisance in rallies and can cause problems if you let him.
Maxime Cressy and James Duckworth are scheduled to face one another in the second round of the 2022 Winston-Salem Open on Wednesday, August 24. The tournament is scheduled to run from August 21 till August 27.
