Sebastian Gorzny makes his ATP main draw debut at Winston Salem, facing rising Australian star Cruz Hewitt. Despite Gorzny’s recent strong form at lower levels, Hewitt’s experience from ATP matches, including a win over Marcos Giron in Washington, gives him the edge. The recommendation is to back Hewitt for the win. Key statistics show Hewitt has a solid record against similar opponents, though he is yet to beat top-ranked players. Both players are bidding for their breakthrough at this event.

Cruz Hewitt beat Marcos Giron in Washington before winning five games in a defeat to Alex de Minaur. That experience can help the 17-year-old get past Sebastian Gorzny in Winston Salem.

This will be the first match between Cruz Hewitt and Sebastian Gorzny.

Lucky Gorzny into First ATP Tour Event


Sebastian Gorzny has played just 44 career matches, going 22-22. His best result came at a M25 event in Wichita where he reached the final.

The 22-year-old will be competing in his first main draw match at an ATP event after getting through as a lucky loser in Winston Salem. He beat Marc Polmans 6-2 1-6 6-2 in the first qualifier despite winning only 24% of his 2nd serves.

He went down 4-6 6-4 6-3 to Felix Balshaw, winning 49% of his 2nd serves and saving 4/8 break points.

Hewitt Climbing the Rankings


Cruz Hewitt lost the M15 Wodonga final in March before reaching two semi-finals at that level. He has climbed from 789 to 376 in the rankings.

The 17-year-old competed in his first ATP Tour event in Washington after both of his opponents retired in the qualifiers. He beat Marcos Giron 6-3 6-4 in the first round before going down 6-2 6-3 to top seed Alex de Minaur.

Hewitt was last seen at a M25 event in Southaven, getting past Axel Nefve and Leo Vithoontien before a 4-6 6-2 6-3 quarter-final defeat to Clement Chidekh.

Verdict

Sebastian Gorzny has never played a main draw match on the ATP Tour and Cruz Hewitt gained plenty of experience in Washington. I am backing the Australian to advance in Winston Salem.
