Pablo Carreno Busta won the Winston-Salem Open title in 2016.
\n By ATP Staff<\/p>\n

Former champion Pablo Carreno Busta<\/a> needed just 58 minutes to race through Japan\u2019s Yoshihito Nishioka<\/a> 6-0, 6-3 to charge into the second round of the Winston-Salem Open<\/a> Sunday.<\/p>\n

One of four former champions in the draw, the 2016 titlist next plays 10th seed and 2023 champion Sebastian Baez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old Spaniard won 57 per cent of Nishioka\u2019s first-serve points and dropped just eight points on his own serve.<\/p>\n

Botic van de Zandschulp<\/a>, who last summer stunned Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in straight sets in the second round of the US Open<\/a>, rallied from a set down to defeat Australian Adam Walton<\/a> 2-6, 7-5, 6-3. The Dutchman, who served 15 aces according to Infosys ATP Stats, advances to play sixth-seeded Italian Matteo Arnaldi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"It<\/a><\/p>\n

Poland\u2019s Kamil Majchrzak<\/a>, No. 88 in the PIF ATP Rankings, defeated Chilean powerhouse Nicolas Jarry<\/a>, who has fallen to World No. 100, 7-6(6), 6-4. Majchrzak dropped just three points on first serve and did not face a break point. He next meets Portugal\u2019s seventh seed Nuno Borges<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former Next Gen ATP Finals champion Hamad Medjedovic<\/a> got off to a winning start in his first visit to Winston-Salem, defeating Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech<\/a> 6-3, 7-6(7) to reach the second round.<\/p>\n

The Serbian claimed one break in both sets against Rinderknech, who last week upset former US Open<\/a> finalist Casper Ruud<\/a> in the first round of the Cincinnati Open<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

Medjedovic next plays 15th-seeded Briton Jacob Fearnley<\/a>.<\/p>\n
