Mackenzie McDonald and Luciano Darderi clash in the Winston-Salem Open's second round on August 19th, a crucial match for both players.
McDonald, despite recent struggles, showcased improved form in his first-round victory, exhibiting improved consistency and strong serving.
Darderi, a clay-court specialist, has underperformed on hard courts this year, lacking the consistent wins needed for a deep run.
Given McDonald's recent performance and Darderi's hard-court weakness, along with their head-to-head history, McDonald is predicted to advance.
