–

Six of the eighth seeds were still in Winston-Salem, with the match between Sebastian Korda and French veteran Richard Gasquet probably the most intriguing one.

And, as it turned out, the most dramatic one.

There were eight Frenchmen of various ages originally in the draw. Only Gasquet – by far the most senior – remaied until Korda pulled it out – and then pulled out of the tournament..
