Who will reach round three in Cincinnati?<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Cincinnati Day 4 Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Ben Shelton vs Camilo Ugo Carabelli<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Carabelli is looking to reach the third round of a Masters event for the first time since March. In his way stands an in-form Shelton, fresh off winning his first ever Masters 1000 title. As long as he doesn\u2019t show any signs of fatigue, the American should have no issues getting past the Argentine.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Shelton in 2<\/p>\n<h4>Tallon Griekspoor vs Hamad Medjedovic<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/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\/2226977882\" 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\/2226977882?et=M5N8v2IRQWxm_cD3Ysx-UA&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=2aQw8mtg7EW2Hp8KYFics5jaM0EejOdJ6S_H1pTJmAc=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The sharp-serving Dutch No.1 is looking for his first hard court win since May, after losing in the opening round in Toronto. Medjedovic is looking to get back on track after his retirement at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/category\/wimbledon\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Wimbledon<\/a>, and after an impressive first round victory \u2013 in which he served 15 aces and didn\u2019t face a break point \u2013 he will certainly prove to be a challenge for Griekspoor. Although, the Dutchman\u2019s experience might prove decisive, and he should edge this one.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Griekspoor in 3<\/p>\n<h4>Cameron Norrie vs Roberto Bautista Agut<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: Norrie 4-0 Roberto Bautista Agut<\/p>\n<p>After a difficult period, Norrie finds himself seeded in a Masters tournament for the first time in well over a year. The Brit is yet to lose to Bautista Agut, with their most recent meeting coming in the first round of Wimbledon. After a disappointing loss in Toronto, expect Norrie to get his hard court season back on track.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Norrie in 2<\/p>\n<h4>Jenson Brooksby vs Arthur Cazaux<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/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\/2223358946\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 67.676765% 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\/2223358946?et=X5WoTi9IQAhtPZF0kPu2tg&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=czjvqkhAc6yWR7qaMJXoA6o3txHVaQEf6IRxUVjs3AA=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"402\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Wildcard Brooksby vs lucky-loser Cazaux.
