THE PREDICTION
World number two Novak Djokovic returns to tour for the first time since losing the Wimbledon final to Carlos Alcaraz in a five-setter for the ages. The 36-year-old lost in the first round of the Men’s Doubles alongside Nikola Cacic on Tuesday to get some hardcourt tennis in his legs but he often takes some warming up after a break to suggest that an upset is on the cards here. World number 23 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina burst into form last week in Toronto to reach the semi-finals before defeat to eventual runner-up Alex de Minaur. The 24-year-old beat Tomas Martin Etcheverry in straight sets on Tuesday to get Cincinnati underway well but he will have to be at his very best to stand a chance against friend off the court Djokovic. The pair played a thrilling match at Roland-Garros in June but Djokovic still came through in straight sets to lead 3-1 in their head-to-head. Three sets are a distinct possibility here given Djokovic’s break and that makes taking the Serb to win outright the sensible move and ADF to earn at least a set the tempting risk.
