The scheduled first-round match between Dino Prizmic and Cruz Hewitt at the Winston-Salem Open was cancelled because Dino Prizmic withdrew from the tournament due to an injury.

Following the withdrawal, tournament organizers announced that Cruz Hewitt would instead face a lucky loser, confirmed late Sunday to be 22-year-old American Sebastian Gorzny. That match goes at 3:30pm ET from Stadium Court on Monday.

Walton and De Jong are separated by just 5.5 points in overall Elo, with Walton at 1,703.5 and De Jong at 1,698.0. The surface-specific numbers give Walton a larger edge on hard courts—1,661.8 to 1,600.6—but that is still not the profile of a matchup where one player should be expected to run away with it.

Walton’s recent hard-court results reinforce the competitive read: he has beaten Ignacio Buse and Nicolas Mejia in straight sets, but also pushed through a three-setter against Thanasi Kokkinakis and has recently lost tight matches to Valentin Svrcina and Michael Zheng. De Jong enters after hard-court wins over Nicolai Budkov Kjaer and Dane Sweeny, giving both players current wins and confidence on the surface.

The 52-week numbers show why each side can make this a long match. Walton has the better overall dominance ratio (1.087 to 1.035), breakpoint-prevail ratio (1.098 to 1.005), service-games-won rate (80.9% to 76.4%) and second-serve points won (52.4% to 47.4%). De Jong, however, owns the stronger return profile, winning 31.5% of first-serve return points, 50.4% of second-serve return points and 24.3% of return games compared with Walton’s 28.4%, 48.5% and 21.0%, respectively.

De Jong has also won 57.1% of his tiebreaks, while Walton is at 45.0%. With Walton more likely to hold and De Jong better equipped to pressure return games, the matchup has several routes to tight sets or a deciding set. There is no previous head-to-head meeting to suggest a one-sided tactical advantage, making Over 22.5 games the preferred play.
