Sebastian Ofner continues his comeback from the injury that kept him off court for seven months. Round one of the Cincinnati Open sees him take on qualifier Valentin Royer. Here's our match prediction.
Oftner is playing only his second hard court match of the year. He got into the main draw of this outdoor hard court Masters tournament on his protected ranking. His only other match on this surface in 2025 was in Toronto when he lost 7-6 7-5 to Reilly Opelka.
The 29-year has only won two of his last eight matches, both on grass at Wimbledon. He's currently 140th in the live rankings but was a career-high 37th in January 2024.
Valentin Royer had to win two qualifying matches to reach the main draw of an ATP Masters tournament for only the second time. He needed three sets to beat Liam Draxl in his final qualifier. His only other Masters main draw appearance was in Toronto recently, losing in round one.
The 24-year-old is a career-high 105th in the live list. His best results this year have come in hard court Challenger Tour events with a semi-final in Lille.
We tip Royer to win this match.
