In other action, Jiri Lehecka defeated Brandon Nakashima in a repeat of the 2022 Next Gen ATP Finals championship match. The Czech, who fell against American Nakashima in Milan last year, has performed strongly on hard courts this season, reaching the quarter-finals at the Australian Open and semi-finals in Doha.

3) Next Gen ATP Finals Alumni Compete: Several former Next Gen ATP Finals competitors will be in action in Winston-Salem. Last year’s Next Gen ATP Finals champion Brandon Nakashima will aim to snap a three-match losing streak when he faces Jason Kubler in the first round, while 2021 finalist Sebastian Korda is the third seed in North Carolina. On hard courts, the American Korda reached the final in Adelaide and the last eight at the Australian Open earlier this season.

Jiri Lehecka, who lost to Nakashima in Milan last November, is 28-8 on the season. The Czech fell in the opening round in Winston Salem in 2022 and is seeded sixth at this year’s event. British lefty Jack Draper makes his return to Tour after two months out with a shoulder injury. The 21-year-old, who reached the semi-finals in Milan in 2022, starts against Nuno Borges.

Lehecka, who will now advance to Saturday’s final, ousted Australian Max Purcell 7-6(4), 6-4. Purcell challenged the Czech by often moving forward, but the 21-year-old Next Gen ATP Finals runner-up stayed steady from the baseline and won 84 per cent of his first-serve points to advance moments before heavy rain in North Carolina.

"Super happy with my win today. After two three-setters, to finally finish in straight sets against a player like Max is always special," Lehecka said. "To [finish] before the rain came is a bonus. I'm very happy with my performance today."
