Despite dropping the opening set Wednesday, the 11th seed Korda was unbroken en route to a 6-7(3), 6-3, 6-4 victory against Poland’s Kamil Majchrzak<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a rollercoaster today, I was just waiting my turn,” said the 25-year-old Korda, No. 86 in the PIF ATP Rankings. “He was playing some great tennis, so I was just waiting to see if his level dipped a little bit. Luckily, I played a solid second game in the second set and started playing a lot better.\u201d<\/p>\n The American won 82 per cent of his first-serve points and saved all six break points he faced, according to Infosys ATP Stats. Korda will next meet 13th seed Miomir Kecmanovic<\/a>, whom he is tied with at 1-1 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series. Korda beat the Serbian in this year\u2019s Adelaide semi-finals. Kecmanovic ousted third seed Luciano Darderi<\/a> 6-3, 6-1 in 58 minutes to advance while Kecmanovic’s countryman Hamad Medjedovic<\/a> beat fourth seed Gabriel Diallo<\/a> 6-4, 6-2.<\/p>\n Darderi and Diallo’s losses mean that none of the top-four seeds remain at the ATP 250, where top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas<\/a> and second seed Tallon Griekspoor<\/a> were upset on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Buyunchaokete became the first Chinese player to reach the Winston-Salem last eight in tournament history when he defeated Mariano Navone<\/a> 6-4, 6-4, backing up his Tuesday upset against top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ninth seed Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard<\/a> won the all-French battle against Alexandre Muller<\/a> 6-3, 6-2 and Hungarian Marton Fucsovics<\/a> downed 2017 champion Roberto Bautista Agut<\/a> 6-4, 6-3.<\/p>\n \nBotic van de Zandschulp<\/a> was bagelled in the opening set against Sebastian Baez<\/a>, but the Dutchman recovered to close the day with a 0-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory against the 2023 champion.<\/p>\n Watch Extended Highlights from Wednesday\u2019s Winston-Salem action:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Winston-Salem Tested but unbroken, Korda rallies into Winston-Salem QFs Medjedovic beats Diallo, Kecmanovic defeats third seed Darderi August…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":99541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":{"0":"post-99540","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\/99540","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=99540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"It](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755787393_709_it-all-adds-up-banner.jpg\"\/)
