Tomas Machac vs Pablo Carreno Busta prediction
Pablo Carreno Busta didn’t go far at all in Montreal, having been knocked out in the first round. The 35-year-old veteran was beaten in three sets by Valentin Royer as he struggled badly to win points on his second serve. He’ll need to clean that up in this match otherwise Tomas Machac will immediately at an advantage.
Currently outside the world’s top 50, Machac has a lot to prove and Cincinnati represents a great opportunity for him to do that. He’s a rock-solid player who rarely makes mistakes and that bodes well against an opponent such as Carreno Busta. It’s well worth backing him to make it through when taking this into account.
