ATP Cincinnati Top Contenders

As the last ATP 1000 event before the US Open, there's always a little extra attention, not to mention much better attendance when it comes to the ATP Cincinnati stop. It's also worth noting that the last two winners of this tournament - Sinner in 2024 and Novak Djokovic in 2023 - carried on to win the US Open men's singles title.

Jannik Sinner (+120)

Sinner and Alcaraz have met in the final of two of the last three tournaments in which both players were entered. Sinner has won just twice in his past seven meetings with Alcaraz.

Sinner is 26-3 in 2025, including 7-0 on hard courts. All of those match wins came at the Australian Open, where he won his first Grand Slam title of the year. The Italian has won 17 of his 20 career titles on hard courts. That list includes each of the last three hard-court Grand Slams and last year's Cincinnati Open.

Carlos Alcaraz (+200)

Alcaraz boasts a tour-leading 48 match wins on the season. He defeated Sinner on the clay courts of Rome earlier this year and at the French Open.

The No. 2-seeded Spaniard is 15-4 on hard courts, compared to a combined 33-2 on clay and grass in 2025. Still, in meetings with Sinner on all surfaces, Alcaraz holds an 8-5 advantage.

Alexander Zverev (+1600)

The world No. 3 lost in the Canadian Open semifinals to Karen Khachanov. Zverev is 35-14 on all surfaces this year.

The German player has reached one final, two semifinals, and a quarter-final through his past five tournaments.

Taylor Fritz (+1800)

Fritz was defeated in last year's Cincinnati final 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 by Sinner. He followed that up with a final appearance in the US Open.

Fritz tends to make the most of his hard-court appearances, combining a powerful serve with a stellar ground-stroke game. Unfortunately, the American is a combined 1-7 when facing either Sinner or Alcaraz.

Daniil Medvedev (+2500)

Medvedev was the 2019 Cincinnati champion. He is worthy of a look.

Although he's enduring a tough 2025 season, the 12th-seeded Russian plays his best on fast, hard-court surfaces like this one. He's reached six Grand Slam finals on hard courts.

Alex de Minaur (+2800)

The Australian player will face a tough slog to make any headway in this tournament. He's not known for his powerful service game, which could hamper de Minaur.

He'll likely be facing the big serve of American Reilly Opelka in the second round. Should de Minuar get past that challenge, Alcaraz will be waiting for him in the quarter-finals.

Ben Shelton (+2800)

Shelton is facing Khachanov in Thursday's final of the Canadian Open. The world No. 7 defeated Fritz in the semifinals.

ATP Cincinnati Longshot Bets

American Frances Tiafoe (+4000) tends to get cooking on home courts. Tiafoe lost to Fritz in last year's Cincinnati semifinals. He's a two-time US Open semifinalist. Tiafoe reached the quarter-finals last month at Washington.

Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime (+12500) usually does well on hard courts, thanks to his powerful serve. Auger-Aliassime is a two-time Cincinnati Open quarterfinalist. Karen Khachanov (+6600) is coming to Cincinnati after reaching the final of the Canadian Open.

Borna Cilic, a recent winner of this event in 2022, is a massive long shot at +30000.

And The Winner Is . . .

In what's becoming the must-see of tennis matches, Alcaraz and Sinner figure to renew their ongoing battle. It was Sinner who got the edge over Alcaraz at Wimbledon, but that event was contested on grass.

On hard court surfaces, Alcaraz holds a 5-3 edge over Sinner. However, it's worth noting that five of those eight finals went to a deciding set, so it's been a tight battle. Still, it's leaning slightly in the direction of the Spaniard. And that's where we're going. Take Alcaraz to be the last one standing in the ATP Cincinnati picks.
