Day 4 of the ATP 1000 in Cincinnati had a lot of competition. With a popcorn fight between Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Novak Djokovic on offer, we cover it here as well as some other interesting lineups for you, but who will win?

ATP Cincinnati Day 4 Prediction

Jannik Sinner vs Dusan Lajovic

face to face: first meeting

Having just completed his first Masters 1000 race in Toronto, Jannik Sinner will look to continue the fiery path that propelled him to the biggest title of his career, the Italian No. 1 turning 22. Today’s year has been one of his best seasons on tour so far. Despite overcoming a series of injury challenges over the past eight months, Dusan Lajovic won his third major draw on hard court in the first round on Monday against Franci. Sco Cerandolo, he needed all the encouragement he could get from that match. because Yannick Synner would be a big step forward in quality for the competitors here.

Sinners will find a way to solidify as one of the favorites going into the US Open, and I don’t see Dusan Lajovic doing much to quell that momentum here.

Max Pucell vs Casper Ruud

face to face: first meeting

So far, Casper Ruud is having a memorable summer. which reflects his overall performance throughout our season. after his second elimination at Wimbledon He then joined the European clay tournament in an attempt to clinch victory, losing to Rublev in the Bastad and quarter-finals in Hamburg. This was a far cry from the high standards he set in previous seasons. After losing to Davidovic Fokina last week in Toronto. Rud hopes to go deeper.

Max Purcell backed up two solid victories in qualifying here with a win over Lloyd. Harris is regularly out of form. He’ll be fantasizing about his chances against Ruud and is certainly ready to win. Ruud won for the first and only time the two met in a straight US Open qualifier in 2018.
Prophecy: Purcell in 3

Lorenzo Sonego vs Taylor Fritz

face to face: Sunday 2-4 Fritz

Taylor Fritz went deep in the first-set tiebreak, capturing five set points in his first-round match against Jiri Lehegka. Close the match in straight sets. He hopes to defend the quarterfinals from last year and will envision his chances here against Sonego.

Lorenzo Sonego outperformed talented Russian Alexander Shevchenko in three sets in the opening round. Victory should have a big impact on his confidence in this match. And he should push Fritz to his limits in one set.

Alejandro Davidovic Fokina vs Novak Djokovic

face to face: Davidovic Fokina 1-3 Novak

Novak Djokovic will face a difficult test. when he appeared in court in North America for the first time in two years. This will also be his first since failing to defend his Wimbledon title last month against Carlos Alcaraz. He will be looking for that defeat and the off-field drama that has prevented him. Compete in these events from 2021 behind him.

Davidovich Fokina is coming out of the semi-finals in Toronto and is backed by a round 1 win over Tomas Martin Etcheverry. Impossible for the fearless Spaniard

This may be the right match that Djokovic needs as he prepares for the US Open, but he will need to be at the top of his game if he is to avoid defeat here.
Prediction: Djokovic in 3
