As we await the start of the final major of 2018, the US Open, the winners of the final lead up tournaments need congratulations.
The ATP Winston-Salem Open champion is Daniil Medvedev, prevailing over Steve Johnson (8) 6-4 6-4 in the final. It was the second tour trophy for the Russian who didn’t drop a set all week.
Medvedev will face fellow Russian Evgeny Donskoy, ranked 80, in the US Open first round.
The WTA Connecticut Open champion is Aryna Sabalenka, too strong for Carla Suarez Navarro in the final 6-1 6-4. This was the first tour title for the Belarusian, and caps off a terrific run of form, and propels her to a career high ranking of 20.
Sabalenka’s 29 winners easily outweighed her 17 unforced errors.
The US Open first round opponent for Sabalenka will be American Danielle Collins, ranked 37.
