Zachary Svajda surges in US Open Wild Card Challenge with Pro Circuit title

While Caty McNally is running away with the women's US Open Wild Card Challenge, a host of American men are still chasing leader Emilio Nava toward next week's finish line. 

Zachary Svajda, the 22-year-old Californian who was the USTA Boys' 18s national champion in 2019 and 2021, won his second ATP Challenger Tour singles title of the summer, and his first on a hard court, last week at the USTA Pro Circuit 75 event in Lexington, Ky., to pull within four points of Nava. Meanwhile McNally, who took the women's lead last week after her singles title at the USTA Pro Circuit W100 in Evansville, Ind., added points from two match wins at the National Bank Open WTA 1000 in Montreal.

For both the men and the women, results from the first two rounds of the Cincinnati Open will be included if those rounds are completed by the end of the day on Monday, Aug. 11. If second round matches are not completed by that deadline, then only first-round results will be considered.
