Tomas Machac makes his return to the ATP Tour. He faces fellow unseeded player Pablo Carreno Busta in round one of the Cincinnati Open. Machac has won eight of his 12 outdoor hard court matches this year and our prediction is he will beat Busta.
In round two, the winner will take on 13th seed Andrey Rublev.
Tomas Machac is playing his first tournament since Roland Garros in May where he lost in round two to eventual champion Alexander Zverev.
Machac has won one ATP Tour outdoor hard court tournament this year, winning the title in Adelaide seven months ago
He was 58th in the last rankings, ten places above his opponent.
Pablo Carreno Busta has a 7-6 record on outdoor hard courts this year. Only once has he made it past the first round of an ATP Tour event on this surface in 2026. That was in Dubai in February.
He's had success on his preferred surface of clay in the meantime. After that Dubai tournament, he didn't play again on this surface until the recent tournament in Montreal. That didn't go well with him being beaten in three sets by Valentin Royer in round one.
He has lost three of his last four matches on all surfaces.
