The round of 64 match of Washington Open 2023 between Maxime Cressy and Alexander Shevchenko will take place on July 31.
Last week in Atlanta, Maxime Cressy’s performance was relatively modest as he only managed to win one match. However, even though his opponent, Alex Michelsen, was fatigued, the victory was still encouraging for him. This win was only his second since March 2023, making it a rare success for him on American hardcourts at the ATP level. The triumph provided him with a positive boost after facing challenges during that period. Last year at the Washington venue, the big-serving American put an end to his four-match losing streak on American hardcourts. It was his first appearance in the main draw, and he achieved a notable victory by defeating his fellow countryman Jack Sock in the opening round.
Alexander Shevchenko had an unusual clay swing, starting with promise but ending in disaster. Now, he is making a comeback to compete on hard courts for the first time since the Miami Masters. During the Miami qualifiers, he suffered a three-set defeat against Alejandro Tabilo. Despite facing challenges, this season has been highly successful for the Russian player, leading to his top-100 debut. He achieved significant feats on his favored clay surface and showed potential on hard courts. Notably, he won the Tenerife Challenger title, took a set off Hubert Hurkacz in Dubai, and reached the final at the Phoenix Challenger in the USA.
