The ATP Cincinnati Open was getting underway as the Canadian Masters winds down, with the finals in Canada taking place on the same day as the opening matches are taking place at this week’s event in Mason, Ohio. Both events are hardcourt tournaments, but one major difference is that Novak Djokovic will appear in his first U.S.-based tournament since 2021 now that vaccine restrictions have been lifted. He will join Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s singles draw. Will they meet again? Let’s break down the men’s and women’s singles draws as you consider how to incorporate this tournament into your ATP Tennis Betting Odds.

Carlos Alcaraz did not follow up his Wimbledon title with another scintillating win. Instead, he had three iffy matches, as Ben Shelton and Hubert Hurkacz pushed him hard, and Tommy Paul sent him out in the quarterfinals. This was the second straight Canadian Masters that saw him fail to make the semifinals. At the Western & Southern Open last year, he also lost in the quarterfinals, that time to Cameron Norrie. Alcaraz could see Paul again in the round of 16 and could reprise last year’s U.S. Open final in the quarterfinals, where he would meet Casper Ruud if seedings hold.
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev both lost in the first round at the Canadian Masters, but both have done well at the Western & Southern Open in the past. Tsitsipas made the finals last year, and Rublev got that far the year before. Tsitsipas continues with new coach Mark Philippousis and gets a bye through the first round as a seeded player. He will face Ben Shelton or the player who stopped him at Wimbledon, Chris Eubanks.
Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune also crashed out early in Toronto. Medvedev had a 5-1 lead in the tiebreaker before losing to Alex De Minaur, and Rune lost in the first round against Marcos Giron. Medvedev considers him a hardcourt specialist and won this tournament four years ago.
Novak Djokovic has made the finals of this tournament has seven times but has only won two titles. The last time he won here was in 2020. He should have plenty of motivation after losing the Wimbledon final to Alcaraz, and he has a fairly easy path through his quarter of the bracket, with the likes of Jannik Sinner and Cameron Norrie the toughest foes.

ATP Tennis Betting Odds | Women’s Singles Analysis
It looked like Iga Swiatek was going to take over women’s tennis early in 2023, but that hasn’t happened. She and Aryna Sabalenka are still the top two women in the tennis world, but they didn’t look that great in Canada. Swiatek did get to the semifinals, but she struggled mightily against Karolina Muchova and Danielle Collins before falling to Jessica Pegula. Unforced errors were the real problem. She could see Collins again in the second round, and she could see surprise Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in the quarterfinals if seedings hold.
Elena Rybakina made it to the semifinals in Montreal, and Coco Gauff won in D.C. before losing to Pegula in Montreal. Gauff could end up against Petra Kvitova or Liudmila Samsonova in the round of 16, while Rybakina’s toughest early match could come against Karolina Pliskova or Jelena Ostapenko.
Jessica Pegula actually beat both Iga Swiatek and coco Guaff in Montreal, and the faster surface at the Western & Southern Open should favor her game. She could see Madison Keys – the tournament winner in 2019 – in the third round, and she could see Maria Sakkari in the quarterfinals. Sakkari advanced to the final in D.C. two weeks ago.
Aryna Sabalenka and Ons Jabeur are both trying to get over disappointments from Wimbledon. Sabalenka fell to Jabeur in the semifinals, and Jabeur lost to Vondrousova in the final. Sabalenka didn’t play that well in Canada this year, but she got to the semis of the Western & Southern in 2022. She could run into Elina Svitolina or Daria Kasatkina in the round of 16.
