Tristan Boyer, while impressive in parts of the tour, lacks Lehecka\u2019s consistency. Boyer looked good in his first round but expect Lehecka\u2019s aggressive baseline play and confidence to dominate.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1980\" data-end=\"2335\"><em>Prediction: Lehecka in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"820\" data-end=\"920\">Jakub Mensik vs Ethan Quinn<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"820\" data-end=\"920\">Head-to-head \u2013 Mensik 1-0 Quinn<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2228077862\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/2228077862?et=CiWNEmKJQFV8EzlYYOCDCg&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=CNzU9r2aaKROXEqiPVf89TsRATl6SAGbM0VpxQwoGSs=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Both players bring significant momentum into this encounter. In their only previous showdown, Jakub Mensik edged out Ethan Quinn 7-6(4), 6-1 in Madrid, showcasing his composure in the big moments and ability to seize control after a tight opener. Expect another tight opening set, with Quinn\u2019s firepower on serves and groundstrokes pushing Mensik around but the Czech\u2019s superior baseline game and should carry him through once again.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"1332\"><em>Prediction: Mensik in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"1332\">Andrey Rublev vs Learner Tien<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head &#8211; Rublev 0-1 Tien<\/p>\n<p>Andrey Rublev comes into Cincinnati on the back of a quarterfinal run in Toronto, where his forehand was firing and more consistent. Learner Tien continues to impress with his composure and movement, earning his spot here with some gritty performances and a win over Rublev in Washington. While Tien\u2019s quick footwork could help him hang in the rallies, Rublev\u2019s power from the baseline should suffice in equalling their head to head.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Rublev in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Carlos Alcaraz vs Damir Dzumhur<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head &#8211; Alcaraz 1-0 Dzumhur<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2217860912\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/2217860912?et=_WyHFZusQ0t1jIxsul8vtQ&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=juajOM3_JJlIflem9N-1welzMCREhhvDGrYvGvly3cc=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Their only previous main tour-level meeting came at Roland Garros earlier this year, where Carlos Alcaraz advanced in four sets.
