USA Today Sports

ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati 1/32-Finals

Davidovich Fokina – Fonseca: 09.08.2025 21:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Toronto, the Spaniard retired mid-match against Rublev in the 1/8-Finals.

Joao Fonseca has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Toronto, Schoolkate upset him in the opening round in straight sets. The Brazilian is one of the most hyped players this season, but he has struggled with his form for the past few weeks. He hopes for a solid result this week to cement his top 50 status. This week, Fonseca defeated Bu in three sets in the opening round.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Fonseca is the slight underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. His main problem was his confidence. However, after turning the match around in the opening round, we expect him to be fully confident coming into this match.

That being said, Fonseca winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Joao Fonseca winning @2.10 @bet365

Etcheverry – Auger-Aliassime: 09.08.2025 18:30 CEST
H2H: first meeting

Tomas Martin Etcheverry has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Toronto, the Argentine lost to Cerundolo in the third round in straight sets. This week in Cincinnati, he won against Shang in the opening round in three tight sets after playing for almost four hours.

Felix Auger-Aliassime has lost three of his last five matches. Last week in Toronto, the Canadian lost against Marozsan in the opening round in straight sets. He has struggled with his form throughout the whole season.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Auger-Aliassime is the slight favourite in this matchup, and we agree. Etcheverry just played a three-set thriller, after being almost four hours on the court. Auger-Aliassime is a better hard-court player than Etcheverry and will be more rested coming into this match.

That being said, Auger-Aliassime covering the games handicap is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Felix Auger-Aliassime -2.5 games handicap @1.73 @bet365

Michelsen – Moutet: 09.08.2025 17:00 CEST
H2H: 0-2

Alex Michelsen has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Toronto, Michelsen lost against Khachanov in the quarterfinals in straight sets. Last season in Cincinnati, the American played well. He eventually lost to Sinner in the third round in straight sets.

Corentin Moutet has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Toronto, the Frenchman lost to Davidovich Fokina in the second round in straight sets. A week before, Moutet had a solid run in Washington, eventually losing to de Minaur in the semifinals. This week in Cincinnati, he defeated McDonald in the opening round in straight sets.

Best Bet to Make

According to the bookies, Michelsen is the favourite in this matchup, but we disagree. Moutet is in great form and leads 2-0 in head-to-head meetings. He defeated Michelsen both times in straight sets. We expect him to continue his winning streak against Michelsen tomorrow.

That being said, Moutet winning is a value bet.

Value bet/ the best odds: Corentin Moutet winning @2.20 @bet365
