The ATP Winston-Salem Open is the last men\u2019s build-up event before the\u00a0US Open<\/a>. Sebastian Baez is the defending champion and the #1 seed this year. The slate has seven exciting first-round matches and will be divided into two articles. As always, we here at LWOT will offer our predictions for every match on the slate for Day 1. In addition to this article, our other features Borna Coric vs Sumit Nagal<\/a>. But who will advance?<\/p>\n

ATP Winston-Salem Day 1 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Daniel Evans vs Aleksandar vukic<\/h4>\n

Head-to-Head<\/strong>: First meeting<\/p>\n

Daniel Evans has dropped well outside the Top 100 after he decided to play in the Olympics instead of defending his Citi Open title. Evans has won just three matches on tour this year with his last win coming in Miami in March. Aleksandar Vukic has been in much better form this season than his first-round opponent. However, he failed to qualify for Montreal and Cincinnati. Vukic will see this week as a big chance to get wins under his belt and take some form heading into the US Open. This will be Evans’ first match on hard courts after the Olympics and I doubt he would be up to speed.
\nPrediction: Vukic in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Christopher Eubanks vs Adam Walton<\/h4>\n

Head-to-Head<\/strong>: First meeting<\/p>\n

Christopher Eubanks has been given a wild card this week and he will look to make the most out of it. Eubanks reached the quarterfinals in a Challenger<\/a> event last week where he lost to Roman Safiullin. He is still nowhere near the level he produced last year though. Adam Walton also played in the same Challenger but lost in the first round. Walton is a talented player but has yet to convert his talent to consecutive wins. I like this match for Eubanks and he should get the job done.
\nPrediction: Eubanks in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
