If you want to stay up to date with the line-up of tournament tables on the ATP tour, you are in good hands on Twitter at @EntryLists: As soon as a player cancels his participation for an event, this handle already announces who is for moves up to the failed. There was a lot to do at the current ATP Tour 250 tournament in Winston Salem. Even into Tuesday.
Injury-stricken David Goffin, who was second in Winston Salem behind Pablo Carreno Busta, canceled late. The American Eduardo Nava moved up for Goffin, but not only in the first, but also in round two. Because there Goffin would have stood after a bye. Nava didn't use his chance, however, and was eliminated from Thiago Monteiro in two sets.
Murray wins against Lucky Loser
Pierre-Hugues Herbert, who like Nava failed in the qualification, did better. Herbert moved up for the sick Nikoloz Basilashvili, also in round two, and is already in the round of 16 after a success against Federico Coria. The same applies to Lucky Loser Max Purcell, who also started in round two and after beating Jordan Thompson, he will play against Mikael Ymer in the round of 16.
Yosuke Watanuki, lucky loser number four, won against Jaume Munar at the start of the main draw matches, but then had to say goodbye to Marton Fucsovics. The worst figure among the late recruits was Noah Rubin: The local hero went down against Andy Murray with 2: 6 and 0: 6. Murray, however, failed on lap two to Frances Tiafoe.
