LiontipsFrances Tiafoe vs Diego Schwartzman. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Cincinnati (August 19, 2021).
Command Analysis
Tiafoe has left an ambiguous impression after the tournament in Toronto. He passed several rounds, defeating Nishioka (6-3, 6-4) and Shapovalov (6-1, 6-4) in straight sets. However, Tiafoe only made it to the tournament's main draw as the lucky loser: he lost to Emil Ruusuvuori in the qualification (1-6, 4-6).
In his Cincinnati opener, Tiafoe outplayed Ugo Humbert (7-5, 7-6).
Schwartzman can't boast great results this year. The Argentine lost a few positions in the ATP ranking after several unsuccessful appearances. At the moment, he is ranked 14th, but his best result is the 8th line.
Schwartzman was knocked out of the Canadian Open in the third round. He lost to Roberto Bautista Agut in three sets (6-3, 3-6, 7-5). In Cincinnati, he started with a victory over Daniel Evans (6-2, 4-6, 6-3).
