Pablo Carreno Busta vs Dominik Koepfer: Preview

The Spaniard comes into this match on the back of his massive bronze medal win at the recently concluded Tokyo Games. Busta has already made a quarterfinal appearance on the hard court this season and holds a 9/4 win/loss record on the surface till now in 2021. The 30-year-old has also won two titles on the clay this year in Marbella and Hamburg. With momentum on his side, Busta is going to be a tricky customer this week in Cincinnati.

On the other hand, the German comes into this contest after beating countryman Jan-Lennard Struff in three sets in the opening round. Koepfer was also seen at the Tokyo Olympics, where he was ousted in the third round by Busta himself. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old also lost early in Toronto and that would make him desperate for a better performance this week in Cincinnati.

Pablo Carreno Busta vs Dominik Koepfer: Prediction

While Koepfer will be helped with his confident win over Struff, Busta will be playing his first match after the Olympics. The German served nine aces in the last game and will be hoping to repeat bank on his serve in this match too. However, the Spaniard is known for his deep return. Koepfer’s best chance is to attack his opponent in the early minutes, else Busta might find his groove to progress ahead.

Match Prediction: Pablo Carreno Busta should win in two sets.
