Winston-Salem Open

[herios]

The string of surprises continues.
Time to find out more about Pierre-Hugues Herbert who makes the final as a qualifier:

Herbert - Johnson 3-6, 7-6, 6-2

Up to this week, he has not been ranked higher than 107, entered the event ranked 140.
This was also a great chance for Johnson to make his first final on tuor, but looks like the French man was the one who made the most of it.

Really thought Johnson would make his first final here. Surprising run by Herbert. He plays Bautista-Agut in the 1st round of the USO. Upset coming there if he keeps playing like he is.

Herbert career record before this week was 7-15,

this week he made it through the qualifiers and won 5 main draw matches to make the final.

Herbert career record before this week was 7-15,

this week he made it through the qualifiers and won 5 main draw matches to make the final.

So, he has already doubled his wins this year (from 7 to 14).

So it's Anderson vs. Herbert. Cakewalk for Anderson for title No. 3.

Anderson"ll probably win that

He did in "straights!" Can a trophy be any uglier? Looks more like a potential accident waiting to happen with all those spikes; maybe a murder weapon in a bad series! I like the way the kid plays; sorta like Tim Henman of GB!

 

[Kirijax]

Kevin Anderson wins the Ninja Shuriken Open for his third ATP title!

Beats Pierre Hughes Herbert 6-4, 7-5.
