A long match could be on the way in the second round of the Cincinnati Open. 21st seed Ugo Humbert isn't in the best of form and takes on qualifier Michael Zheng. The stats indicate that more than 21.5 games are going to be played.
Next up for the winner will be either tenth seed Lorenzo Musetti or unseeded Daniel Altmaier.
Ugo Humbert has only won eight of his 17 outdoor hard court matches played in 2026. The Frenchman has lost both of his last two matches on this surface, most recently to Daniel Merida in Montreal, winning just five games.
He was a finalist in Adelaide in January and reached round four in Miami, but has had seven first or second outdoor hard court exits in 2026,
Michael Zheng had to win two qualifying matches to make it into this main draw. Both went to a deciding set as did his first round match against Fabian Marozsan. He has lost the first set in each of his last four matches, so perhaps Humbert might get off to a good start.
Zheng has made it to two Challenger Tour semi-finals on this surface in 2026, but is yet to get past round two on the ATP Tour.

Our Ugo Humbert vs Michael Zheng Prediction
Ugo Humbert will want to see an improvement in his form as the US Open approaches. He has struggled for wins of late and this is another tricky match for him in the second round of the Cincinnati Open. He's reached one final this year, but had far too many early exits.
Michael Zheng has won three matches so far, but it has been a struggle. Winning the first set must be a target for him, he hasn't done that in his last four matches. Our Ugo Humbert v Michael Zheng prediction is more than 21.5 games.
