Quinn Vandecasteele vs James Duckworth prediction

Quinn Vandecasteele came from a set down to win his final qualifying match against Pierre-Hugues Hubert. The Frenchman also opened up a 4-2 lead in the second set and was just two games from victory, but Vandecasteele fought back to win 3-6 7-6 (4) 7-5. The 23-year-old is ranked just inside the top 500 in the world. He will be making his tour-level debut at the Winston-Salem Open, and he faces James Duckworth in the first-round.

The Australian last competed at the Cincinnati Open. He won his first-round match against Jeff Wolf, but then fell to a defeat against Arthur Fery. Duckworth was leading in the deciding set tiebreak, but Fery came back to win. The 33-year-old won a Challenger event in Mexico City earlier this year, but victories on the ATP Tour have been few and far between for the most part.

Nevertheless, he has enough experience and consistency to get the job done here.
