THE PREDICTION
World number 56 Lorenzo Sonego’s level has fallen away quite worryingly from where it was in 2020 and 2021, with victories over Novak Djokovic and runs to Masters semi-finals a faint memory right now. The 27-year-old has lost four-straight matches on tour but he is clearly trying to address his form by playing Men’s Doubles, with a title-winning campaign at Kitzbuhel alongside Pedro Martinez last month at least some respite. Sonego qualified well this weekend but 19-year-old American wildcard looks a dangerous first opponent on Tuesday as he comes off a runners-up place at a Chicago Challenger this weekend. Shelton set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 229th this week and a recent tight three-set defeat to John Isner at the Atlanta Open got plenty of home fans excited in yet another US prospect. Leave this match out of an accumulator but consider a one-off punt on the underdog, well-backed by a notoriously powerful crowd in Cincinnati, to cause the upset here.
