Notes
- Marcos Giron was the original winner for the USTA Wildcard Challenge alongside CoCo Vandeweghe. However, when some original players in the entry list field withdrew from the tournament, Giron was moved up directly entering to the main draw as an alternate. His runner-up, Michael Mmoh replaced him.
