In two contrasting sets, the Frenchman defeated Hamad Medjedovic<\/a> 7-6(8), 6-2, during which the ninth seed trailed 1\/5 in the first-set tie-break and saved four set points before stealing the opener. Mpetshi Perricard, 22, hammered 15 aces and won 83 per cent (34\/41) of his first-serve points, according to Infosys ATP Stats, to advance.<\/p>\n \nMpetshi Perricard will next play Buyunchaokete<\/a> or Botic van de Zandschulp<\/a> at the ATP 250. Rain suspended play for the evening when the Dutchman led ‘Bu’ 6-3, 4-3.<\/p>\n \nHome favourite Sebastian Korda<\/a> continued his comeback in convincing fashion. The 25-year-old, who is competing in his first tournament since Roland Garros<\/a> due to a right shin stress fracture, downed Miomir Kecmanovic<\/a> 6-1, 6-4.<\/p>\n \n\u201cI think it was a great match. We played earlier in the year, so I took a few tactics from that match,\u201d said Korda, who leads Kecmanovic 2-1 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series. \u201cI thought I executed pretty well, came to net quite a bit and tried to stay aggressive. Miomir is an unbelievable returner, so a high first-serve percentage was crucial today and I think I served pretty well.\u201d<\/p>\n \nInto the last four, the 11th seed Korda faces Marton Fucsovics<\/a>, who beat Jaume Munar<\/a> 7-5, 6-3 to claim his 100th tour-level hard-court win. The 33-year-old is the first Hungarian man in the Open Era to achieve that feat.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Winston-Salem Mpetshi Perricard saves four set points before storming into Winston-Salem SFs Korda beats Kecmanovic August 22, 2025…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":101274,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":{"0":"post-101273","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101273\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/101274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"It](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755846786_834_it-all-adds-up-banner.jpg\"\/)
