Thursday's Cincinnati first round pits Camilo Ugo Carabelli against Miomir Kecmanovic on hard. Miomir Kecmanovic comes in at 4 wins from the last ten. Camilo Ugo Carabelli limps in on a 3-match losing skid, just 5 wins in 10.
Kecmanovic's 70.9% behind the first serve (against 66% for Carabelli) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Kecmanovic fractionally more likely to land the big points.
