In front of a packed crowd on Aug. 29, world No. 15 Kevin Anderson became the 2015 Winston-Salem Open champion with a 6-4, 7-5 victory over French qualifier Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
This is Anderson’s first title since 2012 in a year in which he has come up short in two other finals in Memphis, Tenn., and Queen’s Club in London just before The Championships, Wimbledon earlier this summer.
“I’ve been in the finals a few times and come a little bit short, which is always tough, and obviously it feels fantastic to get that win,” Anderson said after the trophy presentation.
