Vallejo to debut at Winston-Salem Open against Carreño Busta

Paraguay's top tennis player, Daniel Vallejo, is set to make his debut at the ATP 250 Winston-Salem Open in North Carolina. He faces Spain's Pablo Carreño Busta on Sunday, with the match scheduled for no earlier than 6:30 PM. This marks the first career meeting between the two players.

Vallejo arrives at the tournament in strong form, holding his highest-ever world ranking of #60. This achievement follows his recent breakthrough at the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati, where he reached the third round for the first time. In Cincinnati, Vallejo defeated France's Kyrian Jacquet and Valentin Vacherot of Monaco before falling to American Tommy Paul in a three-set match.

The Winston-Salem Open presents a challenging but potentially rewarding draw for the 22-year-old Paraguayan. Carreño Busta, ranked #72, brings significant experience to the court. The winner of this match will advance to face the tournament's 13th seed, Botic Van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands. Vallejo has a previous victory over Van de Zandschulp, having defeated him in the 2023 ATP 250 Bastad tournament.
