Kovacevic vs Hijikata. Prediction and bets on the ATP Cincinnati match

Kovačević defeated Pedro Martinez (4-6, 6-2, 6-4) in the first round of qualifying for the Cincinnati tournament. Alex hit 18 aces, converted three break points, and lost one game on his serve in the match against the Spaniard. This was the American's 17th win on open hard court this season, with ten losses. It should be noted that Kovačević had never played in the main draw in Cincinnati before in his career.

Hijikata broke the resistance of Jaime Angel (6-1, 6-1) in the first round of the Masters qualification in Cincinnati. Rinki made two aces in the match against the Frenchman, converted six break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the Australian representative, this was the 13th victory on open hard this season with 13 losses. Let us recall that last week Hijikata successfully passed the qualification in Montreal, but then he lost to Grigor Dimitrov in the second round.
