Qualifier Alexander Blockx is in the main draw of an ATP Tour Masters tournament for only the third time. He takes on unseeded Marcos Giron in round one of the outdoor hard court Cincinnati Open. Time for our match prediction.
Blockx won two qualifiers to reach this main draw. One saw his opponent retire after just six games. The 20-year-old has previously reached the main draw in this year's Miami and Toronto Masters tournaments but is yet to get past round one. The winner of this match faces 27th seed Brandon Nakashima next.
He has won one tournament this year but that was on the Challenger Tour. Blockz is a career-high 121st in the live rankings.
Marcos Giron has lost his last three matches. The last two were on hard courts with losses in Washington and Toronto to Jaume Munar and Adrian Mannarino. Those defeats have left the 32-year-old at 62nd in the live ranking list.
The American is looking to recapture the hard court form shown earlier this year. He made it to the last eight in Adelaide, Delray Beach and Acapulco. Wins have come this year against Casper Ruud, Alexei Popyrin, Tommy Paul and Denis Shapovalov.
We tip Giron to get a much-needed win.
