Ilya Ivashka, ranked 51st in the world will play German Peter Gojowczyk, ranked 111th in the world, on Tuesday in the second round of the 2022 ATP Winston Salem Open.
Ivashka has particularly fond memories of this competition from the previous year because it was there that he defeated Mikael Ymer in the final and claimed his first-and, to date, only-senior ATP title. He gained entry into the top fifty for the first time thanks to that victory, but barring a strong defence of his points from the previous season, he is expected to fall in the rankings before the US Open. In Atlanta, where he eventually lost to eventual tournament champion Alex de Minaur, he accomplished his greatest performance of 2022 after struggling for months to compete at his peak levels and being forced to withdraw from Wimbledon. He has now lost in the opening round in Washington and failed to advance in Cincinnati.
Gojowczyk hasn’t had much success on the main tour since making it to the second round on grass at Newport Beach. He competed in Atlanta’s qualifying round but lost in the opening round. He also lost at the same point in Washington and did not participate in either Montreal or Cincinnati. He hopes to improve on that record after defeating Jiri Lehecka of the Czech Republic in their first-round match, who is presently ranked 51 places higher than him. The seasoned German lost to Cameron Norrie in the quarterfinals of the Acapulco tournament in March, which was his finest performance of the year.
Ilya Ivashka and Peter Gojowczyk are scheduled to face one another in the second round of the 2022 Winston-Salem Open on Tuesday, August 23. 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.
