Murray & Evans Accept Winston-Salem Wild Cards
British pair Andy Murray and Daniel Evans have accepted wild cards into next week’s Winston-Salem Open, a hard-court ATP 250 event, the tournament announced on Thursday.
Former World No. 1 Murray competed at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati this week in just his fifth tour-level singles event of the season, falling to Hubert Hurkacz in the second round.
Murray, who reached the third round at Wimbledon in July, will be making his second appearance in North Carolina, having also played in 2019. The 46-time tour-level titlist will feature alongside Evans, who will be aiming to snap a four-match losing streak in his opening match at the Winston-Salem Open.
Evans won his first ATP Tour title at the Murray River Open in Melbourne in February and will be making his third appearance at the ATP 250 event.
Other ATP stars competing in a stacked field in North Carolina include #NextGenATP talents Carlos Alcaraz and Lorenzo Musetti, former World No. 3 Marin Cilic, Australia’s Nick Kyrgios and 2019 quarter-finalist Frances Tiafoe.
