Mariano Navone vs Raphael Collignon prediction

Mariano Navone comes into Cincinnati on the back of a third round exit in the Montreal Open after victories against Valentin Vacherot and Matteo Berrettini. Navone also made the third round in Kitzbuhel a couple of weeks earlier.

Raphael Collignon, on the other hand, succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to Australia’s Alex de Minaur in the first round in Montreal and to Denis Altmaier in the first round in Austria. Collignon had reached the semi-finals in Gstaad prior to that.

Collignon performed well on clay in Switzerland but the hard surface appeared not to suit him in Canada, with a bet for Navone perhaps the way to go for this one.
