Command Analysis

Pablo Carreno Busta

Carreno Busta looks like he is saving all his strength for the US Open, which starts next week. In Winston-Salem, the Spaniard hasn't shown any spectacular. In the second round of the tournament, Carreno Busta got a victory over Kwon Soon-woo with great difficulty. The Korean player is ranked only 74th in the ATP ranking, but Carreno Busta needed three sets to defeat him (6-3, 3-6, 6-4).

Dominik Koepfer

Koepfer had a tough start at Winston-Salem. In the second round, Dominik faced Marco Cecchinato and needed three sets to defeat him (5-7, 6-4, 6-4). The German tennis player hit nine aces in that match, and also broke four of Cecchinato's serves. Koepfer is having a very average season, and we doubt that he can surprise us at the current tournament.
