Landaluce Chases a Strong Start in Winston-Salem
Martin Landaluce recently snapped a five-match losing streak in first-round matches by reaching the third round in Cincinnati, and he will be looking to build on that momentum this week.

Bellucci Targets Another Step Forward in Winston-Salem
Mattia Bellucci is coming off a second-round exit in Cincinnati last week. Despite the early loss, his performance was encouraging as he upset Zachary Svajda in the opening round before losing to Jakub Mensik in a tight three-set battle.
The Italian has been solid on the Challenger circuit but has struggled to replicate that level on the main tour. He has registered multiple main-draw wins only three times this year, reaching the quarterfinals in Acapulco and Stuttgart and the third round in Rome.
This is his second appearance in Winston-Salem. He reached the second round on his debut last year and will be looking to go further this time.
