Safiullin Looks to Continue His Ranking Revival
Roman Safiullin returned to tennis after a six-month injury layoff in February this year and dropped outside the Top 200 in the rankings. To regain momentum, he stepped down to Challenger events and produced notable results, including winning two titles.
He built on those performances by reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon, his first run of multiple main-draw wins on tour since Miami 2025. That result helped him move closer to returning to the Top 100.
He has played in Winston-Salem three times before and has won only one main-draw match, reaching the second round in 2024.
