Rinky Hijikata defeated Darwin Blanch 6-4, 7(7)-6(2) — Winston-Salem Open 2026 R64.
Rinky Hijikata and Darwin Blanch: Rinky Hijikata leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Serve authority went missing in the second set, where four breaks changed hands, though the wild card came out of the exchange with the worse arithmetic: 2 of 7 on break points against 3 of 5 for Rinky Hijikata. Blanch won 39 percent of his second-serve points, and the tiebreak followed from there. The 95th-ranked Australian needed 1h 37m for his first win since Cincinnati and a Winston-Salem round-of-32 place, the two having no prior meetings on record.
