Maxime Cressy and Lorenzo Sonego will face one another in the round of 16 of the 2022 Winston-Salem Open on Thursday, August 25.
On his Winston-Salem debut, the fourth seed Maxime Cressy got off to a quick start by defeating Australia’s James Duckworth in the second round on Tuesday. In a historic season, the 25-year-old American improved to 22-19. In Newport, he won his first championship, and in Melbourne and Eastbourne, he came in second. He has a 12-10 record on hard courts this season, so he’ll be hoping to advance further by winning on Wednesday. Cressy didn’t enter the competition in great shape; he had only won two matches in his previous three tournaments. However, after a strong start in Winston-Salem, he now appears to be in good shape to compete in the ATP 250 event.
Lorenzo Sonego, the 14th seed, defeated Alejandro Tabilo in the second round on Tuesday, snapping a five-match losing streak. Sonego, who was knocked out in the first round by Ben Shelton in Cincinnati, had last won a match in the second round of Wimbledon. The Italian returned to winning ways on Tuesday, defeating the Chilean 7-5, 6-1. During the one-hour and twenty-four minute contest, Sonego saved 5 of 6 breakpoints and converted 4 of 7. The World No. 63 improved to 18-22 on the season. He had previously advanced to the semifinals in Buenos Aires and the last eight in Sydney, Cordoba, and Stuttgart.
Maxime Cressy and Lorenzo Sonego are scheduled to face one another in the round of 16 of the 2022 Winston-Salem Open on Thursday, August 25. The tournament is scheduled to run from August 21 till August 27.
The 2022 Winston-Salem Open will see six rounds of action excluding the qualifiers. These include the round of 64, round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final for men’s. The tournament is scheduled to commence on August 21 and conclude on August 27 this year.
