Friday's Cincinnati first round pits Matteo Berrettini against Titouan Droguet on hard. Matteo Berrettini limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 6 wins in 10. Titouan Droguet comes in at 6 wins from the last ten.
Berrettini's 76.1% behind the first serve (against 71.9% for Droguet) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. The edge belongs to Berrettini — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
