Borna Coric vs Emilio Nava prediction
Former champion Borna Coric arrives in Cincinnati a touch undercooked.
The 2022 winner’s return to action in Toronto ended in defeat after he missed all of June and most of July following defeat in French Open qualifying.
The Croatian will hope to ignite on courts he has very fond memories of, although his opponent Emilio Nava will pose a very real threat.
The American didn't drop a set coming through qualifying and has impressed on the North American hard courts so far, reaching the last eight in Los Cabos and the third round in Toronto.
In normal circumstances, Coric would be the clear pick, but how sharp he is remains to be seen and it may be worth holding fire for in-match betting or to opt for it going the distance.
Borna Coric vs Emilio Nava tip: Over 2.5 sets
