Three straight wins at the Winston-Salem Open have moved Kovacevic to 15-21 and closed off a summer stretch that had run to seven losses in a row. The flat first strike that anchors his hard-court game did the damage in the round-of-16 win over Stefanos Tsitsipas — 11 holds from 11, all three break points saved, 13 aces.
Friday's quarterfinal reversed the terms: the 27-year-old New Yorker took the opener 6-3 off Arthur Fery, then served seven double faults to Fery's none at 50 percent first serves. He is 12-13 on hard and 1-1 against the Top 8; January's ATP No. 54 now reads 89.
