Then again, Safiullin hasn&#8217;t been at his breakout best since early 2022. On a hard court Safiullin&#8217;s game is probably better when it&#8217;s clicking, but it just doesn&#8217;t click well so often. Jarry is by far the safer pick, though this could be a great match if both players are on.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Jarry in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"XL9ifMSCSjZHWK41fpsEaQ\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1586656812\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'XL9ifMSCSjZHWK41fpsEaQ',sig:'Y3FXkBrbLl8j5R1qIv9JkVqUub5x0MkVTITAMgVN3HQ=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1586656812',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Dan Evans vs Lorenzo Musetti<\/h4>\n<p>Evans won the title in Washington, D.C. two weeks ago. He lost in the first round in Toronto last week, but that&#8217;s understandable due to fatigue. Assuming he&#8217;s anywhere near his Washington-winning form, he should be able to get past Musetti, no matter how well the Italian is playing.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Evans in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[cta id=591 type=cta]<\/p>\n<h4>Alexander Zverev vs Grigor Dimitrov<\/h4>\n<p>Dimitrov is playing pretty well right now, assuming he&#8217;s healthy, but Zverev seems to be finding his pre-injury form. He peaked at the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/french-open\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">French Open<\/a> and hasn&#8217;t looked as dominant since, but the serve is still brutal and the ground game will be very tough for Dimitrov to catch up to. It seems like Dimitrov&#8217;s time as a potential elite has passed, even if he performs impressively once in a while.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Zverev in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 2 of the ATP Masters 1000 in Cincinnati will feature ten matches, including a scintillating encounter between Alexander Zverev and Grigor Dimitrov.
