Ethan Quinn vs Valentin Royer preview
Local favorite Ethan Quinn will face off against Frenchman Valentin Royer in the second round of qualifying at the 2024 US Open qualifiers. Quinn entered the professional tennis career only last year and has played only 8 matches on the main ATP Tour so far. He was last seen at the Challenger Tour in Cary where he lost to former top 10 player David Goffin in the second round.
Currently, Quinn extensively plays at the Challenger tour competitions and is active on the ITF circuit. The young American's single ATP main draw victory in 2024 came when he defeated Marc Polmans in the opening round of the Hall of Fame Open. Quinn had a dominant 6-1, 6-0 win over Maxime Janvier in the opening round at the US Open qualifiers.
Valentin Royer has yet to debut on the ATP Tour, as he only played at the Challenger level and M25 events on the ITF Tour. The Frenchman's best result came from winning the M25 event in Santa Margherita by defeating Nino Sedarusic in the final.
Royer played at the qualifiers of both the French Open and the Wimbledon. However, he could not make it to the main draw, losing to Thiago Monteiro and Li Tu respectively. The Frenchman caused an upset at the US Open qualifiers as he defeated the eighth seed Hugo Dellien in the opening round.
