Americans lead the way at the Winston-Salem Open, held at Wake Forest University. In addition to North Carolina native John Isner and college standout Steve Johnson, the tournament will host a number of other fan favorites, including Wimbledon semifinalist Sam Querrey, Roberto Bautista Agut, and 2016 champion Pablo Carreno Busta.
The Top 16 players currently slated to compete in the Winston-Salem Open are ranked among the Top 50 in the world. Officials with the Winston-Salem Open have confirmed that Isner’s first match in the
tournament will be August 22 at 7 p.m.
“Our playing field this year is one of the strongest in the history of the Winston-Salem Open. We
have three players coming – Sam Querrey, Kevin Anderson and Roberto Bautista Agut – who
recently made it on the incredible journey to the Round of 16 at Wimbledon,” said tournament director Bill Oakes said. “Two other players – Hyeon Chung and Danill Medvedev are in the Top 5 for the Race to Milan, a year end ATP event for the top players in the world who are under 21. Chung and Medvedev definitely will be exciting players to watch in Winston-Salem.”
