Wild card Nishesh Basavareddy takes on the third seed Alexander Zverev. This is a second round match in the outdoor hard court Cincinnati Open. Can Basavareddy cause a major shock? Read our match prediction below.
Zverev's last tournament saw him lose in the semi-finals of the Canadian Open, a tournament in which he was the top seed. The world number three can't climb any higher in the rankings even if he was to win his first hard court tournament of the year.
A win over Baasavareddy will be the 28-year-old's 40th on tour in 2025 with seven of his last ten being won. The winner of this match will be up against either 25th seed Brandon Nakashima or qualifier Alexander Blockx in round three.
Nisesh Basavareddy beat Aleksandar Vukic in the first round of this tournament. He won in straight sets but it was a tough match with 27 games played. That win took Basavareddy to 104th in the live rankings, five places below his career-high.
The 20-year-old has a 13-8 hard court record this year. This is only the third time in 2025 that the American has reached round two of an ATP Tour event this year. His best has been a semi-final in Auckland seven months ago.
We tip Zverev to win this in straight sets.
