Alexander Blockx vs Mariano Navone prediction
A bye into the second round of the Cincinnati Open, Alexander Blockx heads into this on the back of a second round exit at the Montreal Open earlier this month, having only made it through to a straight sets loss to Jiri Lehecka as a result of Rafael Jodar’s withdrawal.
Mariano Navone comes into this one on the back of a comfortable 2-0 win against Raphael Collignon the other day in the first round. He was also in fine form in Montreal before running into an Arthur Fils in even better form at the moment.
Mariano Navone is ranked 11 places lower than Blockx but he will fancy himself here and the Argentine may well be a decent value bet here in Cincinnati.
