ATP Live Race To Jeddah: Alex Michelsen led a teenage American charge Wednesday at the Winston-Salem Open, where the 19-year-old raced past Belgian Zizou Bergs 6-1, 6-2. Christopher Eubanks and Rinky Hijikata both saved two match points each as they too advanced to the next round while Learner Tien also made it.

Competing this week at a career-high No. 52 in the ATP Rankings, the 11th seed is into his sixth quarterfinal of the season. Michelsen fended off the three break points he faced, all of which came in the opening set, and dropped just three points behind his first serve in the second set to advance.

Michelson will next face Eubanks, the wildcard entrant who saved two match points to oust 17th seed Roman Safiullin 6-3, 1-6, 7-6(8).
