Daniil Medvedev is a former Cincinnati Masters champion and has plenty of experience and past success at this venue and in this region. This gives him an ideal opportunity to bounce back from the disappointment of his opening-round exit in Montreal. 

With a chance to reset and return to a familiar setting, Medvedev should be motivated to deliver a much-improved performance here.

Trungelliti Builds on His Biggest Masters Victory

Marco Trungelliti delivered three consecutive upsets to reach the second round in Cincinnati. He defeated Sebastian Ofner and Kei Nishikori from a set down in the qualifying stages before following up with a comfortable straight-set win against Hamad Medjedovic in the first round. 

This is his first-ever main-draw win at Masters level, and he will now be looking to register consecutive main-draw wins on hard courts for the first time since the Manama Challenger in 2024. 

The Argentine has registered multiple main-draw wins only four times this year, with three of those occasions coming on the Challenger circuit, along with reaching the final in Marrakech.

Medvedev Seeks a Fresh Start in Cincinnati

Daniil Medvedev kickstarted his North American swing in Montreal last week, where he lost in the opening round to Botic van de Zandschulp in straight sets. It was his third opening-round loss of the year. 

Despite that setback, the Russian has posted solid results this year, including five semifinal-or-better runs along with the fourth round at the Australian Open. 

Last year, he won only three matches across four tournaments during the North American swing, and he will be looking for better results this time. 

This is his ninth main-draw appearance in Cincinnati, and he cleared the opening-round hurdle in four of his previous eight appearances, notably winning the title in 2019.

Verdict

Medvedev's experience in Cincinnati and his previous success at this tournament make him difficult to oppose, particularly after his disappointing Montreal campaign. 

Expecting a stronger mindset and a dominant display from the former champion, backing Daniil Medvedev to win in straight sets and cover the -4.5 games handicap offers the best betting angle.
