Nick Kyrgios continues to reap the rewards of his great form as he moves past Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the first round with a 7-5, 6-4 win. Kyrgios last played in the 2022 Montreal Masters where he reached the quarter-finals before losing to eventual runner-up Hubert Hurkacz in a heated clash. Having won his first singles title in 3 years in Washington a fortnight ago, the Australian is likely to make a deep run once again this week.

Taylor Fritz makes a brilliant start as well taking out Sebastian Baez 6-1, 6-1 in the first round. It was a much-improved performance and the American will look to make the most of this week as his return to the hardcourts has not been good having failed to make the quarter-finals in his three tournaments so far since the 2022 Wimbledon. With two titles this season including the Indian Wells Masters, Fritz will fancy a chance once again for a big title in front of the home crowds.

This will be the first-ever meeting between the two players which makes their head-to-head at 0-0 currently.

Kyrgios has a career hardcourt record of 159-76 while being 17-4 on the surface this year and having a 31-8 season record coming into the match. Fritz is 172-98 on hardcourts across his career and has an 18-6 record for the season on the surface while being 33-13 for the season across all surfaces. Looking at these numbers and their recent form, the match seems to be headed to a close finish as both the players have proven track record on the surface but with their current form, Kyrgios looks the one edging ahead of Fritz into the next round.

Prediction: Nick Kyrgios to win in 3-sets.
