ATP Winston-Salem Day 2 Predictions Including Sebastian Korda vs Vit Kopriva

ATP Winston-Salem Day 2 Predictions

Hugo Gaston vs Marton Fucsovics

Head-to-Head: first meeting

Hugo Gaston has won just one match in the last month, and that’s not the ideal form to bring against a dangerous opponent like Marton Fucsovics, who had a good run at Wimbledon and will be fresh to get some match wins before the US Open. This will be Fucsovics’ first hard-court match in a while, so he might take some time to settle, but he has the advantage when he finds his range.
Prediction: Fucsovics in 3

Francisco Comesana vs Mattia Bellucci

Head-to-Head: first meeting

Francisco Comesana had his best run on a hard court in Cincinnati, winning three matches and reaching the fourth round. He displayed a great level and will be hard to beat if he can do the same this week. Mattia Bellucci is a tricky opponent and recently won the Sumter Challenger. He has shown earlier this year how effective he can be on this surface, but his recent form at the Tour-level is bad. If Comesana serves well, he should win this.
Prediction: Comesana in 3

Borna Coric vs Darwin Blanch

Head-to-Head: first meeting

Former semifinalist Borna Coric is going through the worst phase of his career as he has yet to win a Tour-level match this season. Currently on a four-match losing streak in all competitions, Coric will drop outside the Top 100 if he loses this match. However, he has a great record at this tournament, which might give him some confidence. 17-year-old Darwin Blanch survived a tight match against Valentin Royer to qualify for the main draw. He is looking for his first Tour-level win, and I can see that happening if he believes.
Prediction: Blanch in 3

Sebastian Korda vs Vit Kopriva

Head-to-Head: Korda 1-0 Kopriva

Injuries have hampered Sebastian Korda in the last two seasons as he makes his return after over two months due to a back injury suffered at the French Open against Frances Tiafoe. He has a tough opener against Vit Kopriva, who pushed the American player to five sets at the 2024 Australian Open. Kopriva has a great chance to take revenge and win consecutive tour-level matches for the first time on this surface. Korda is the better player, but it’s hard to predict his level after a long break.
Prediction: Kopriva in 3
