This all-American quarterfinal matchup between Christopher Eubanks and Alex Michelsen is sure to bring some excitement.

Alex Michelsen is in fine form as the US Open approaches, and given his current level of play, the 19-year-old can go for victory in Winston-Salem and his first ATP Tour title. Already a quarter-finalist in Washington a short while ago, and a second-round participant last week in Cincinnati after qualifying, the Californian continues to make step-by-step progress in his game and results. This week in North Carolina, Alex Michelsen dominated Hungary's Marton Fucsovics and Belgium's Zizou Bergs without dropping a set, displaying a very high level of play. The 52nd-ranked player in the world will be the favorite going into next night's quarter-final against Christopher Eubanks.

After a successful year in 2023, which saw him climb to 34th in the world rankings, Christopher Eubanks has since experienced mixed fortunes, but above all disappointment. His negative record of 14 wins and 21 losses shows the current difficulties facing the American tennis player, who has fallen back to 120th on the ATP rankings. Forced to return to the secondary circuit to regain his health, the Atlanta native reached the quarter-finals in Cary last week. A positive result which enabled him to approach the Winston-Salem tournament in better conditions, beating Adam Walton and Hugo Gaston to reach the quarterfinals.
