Wong Faces Clay Challenge

Coleman Wong suffered an early exit in Miami, failing to defend his third-round points after losing in the qualifying stage. 

However, his ranking has remained stable around the top 120 thanks to consistent results, including quarterfinal runs in Delray Beach, Acapulco, and the Cap Cana Challenger. 

This will be just his second tour-level main-draw appearance on clay, having previously played in Madrid last year where he lost in straight sets.
