Why the Winston-Salem Open matters in 2026
The Winston-Salem Open runs in Winston-Salem, United States from 23–29 Aug, played on medium-paced hard court. Bounces and pace sit between clay and grass, which rewards all-court players who can defend, attack and serve in roughly equal measure. It is an ATP 250 event. The singles champion takes ranking points and prize money, and a useful chunk of the season prize pool.
Play starts in 112 days, on Sunday 23 August, with the main draw running through to Saturday 29 August.
