What Time Will Mackenzie McDonald Play Against Luciano Darderi?

McDonald and Darderi are on the Day 3 Schedule at Winston-salem Open 2025 on Tuesday 19 August 2025. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

In the upcoming match between Mackenzie McDonald (USA) and [3] Luciano Darderi (ITA), McDonald leads the head-to-head 1-0, with their previous encounter at the 2023 Acapulco Hard R32 resulting in a victory for McDonald with a score of 6-4, 6-2.

McDonald, aged 30, currently ranks as World No. 102 and achieved his career-high ranking of No. 37 in October 2023. Despite facing setbacks such as right hamstring surgery in 2019 and falling out of the Top 250 in 2020, McDonald has had notable successes in his career. He has defeated past champions like Kyrgios and Nishikori, reached his first ATP Tour final at the 2021 Washington, and won his first ATP Tour title in doubles at the 2022 Tokyo alongside Melo. His victories include upsetting defending champion Nadal at the 2023 Australian Open and reaching the 4R at Wimbledon in 2018 and the Australian Open in 2021.

On the other hand, Luciano Darderi, aged 23, is currently ranked as World No. 34, with his career-high ranking at No. 32 achieved in August. Darderi, a former Top 10 junior, captured his first ATP Tour title at the 2024 Cordoba and has won three titles in 2025, including Bastad and Umag in back-to-back weeks. With a strong record of 90-61 in Challenger events, Darderi has proven himself as a rising talent in the tennis world.

In terms of their tournament performance, McDonald is aiming for back-to-back ATP Tour wins for the first time since last year, seeking his fifth season with 10+ wins in his career. Meanwhile, Darderi seeks his 50th tour-level win, having a strong clay court record but looking for his first win on hard courts since March. Darderi is one of three players with three or more tour-level titles this year and could become the 9th active Italian man to achieve 50 tour-level wins. Their upcoming match at the Wake Forest Tennis Complex in Winston-Salem, NC, on August 17-23, 2025, promises to be an exciting showdown between these talented players.
