Tennys Sandgren and Denis Kudla, both unseeded, will on Wednesday battle each other in the 2023 US Open qualifiers. The winner of this first-round tie will play either second-seed Cristian Garin or unseeded Titouan Droguet in the second round. Tennys Sandgren will seek a win here to end his current two-game losing skid. After his semifinal finish in Lexington, the American was eliminated in the first round at the Cary challenger in his last outing. Ranked 207th in the live ranking, Sandgren has struggled with his form this year. He has won only one more match than the 17 he has lost. The majority of his victories, 15, have come on hard court and so too have the most, 14, of his defeats. Sandgren has made the main draw here in his last five appearances.

Denis Kudla has also struggled with his form and arrives for this match having lost his last three fixtures. But as he has won all three encounters with Sandgren, he will be confident of getting back to winning ways with this match. Kudla has compiled an 18-21 record thus far. On hard court, a surface he has twice defeated Sandgren, he has managed an 11-13 record. The American arrives for his 12th appearance at the US Open after his first-round exit at the Stanford challenger. Kudla has also made the main draw here in his last five appearances. A former world number 53, the 31-year-old is currently ranked 179th in the live ranking.
