Joao Fonseca of Brazil kicks off his 2025 Cincinnati Open campaign on Thursday against Bu Yunachaokete of China.
Fonseca will be trying to rebound from a first-round loss to Tristan Schoolkate 7-6(5) 6-4 at the 2025 Canadian Open almost two weeks ago. Fonseca boasts a career 26-9 record in hard-court matches and a 17-4 record on the surface in 2025.
Yunchaokete has reached the second round of his last three tournaments, including the 2025 Canadian Open. The Chinese opened his campaign in Toronto with a 7-6(4) 6-2 win over Vit Kopriva of the Czech Republic before bowing to Lorenzo Sonego 6-1 6-4 in the next round. Yunchaokete owns a 6-10 record in hard-court matches this year, but holds a 70 percent win rate on the surface.
