Auger-Aliassime Returns to Winning Ways
World no. 14 Felix Auger-Aliassime rallied from a set down to beat Matteo Berrettini in the first round of the Cincinnati Open on Monday and register his first win since May 24 at the Lyon Open.
Auger-Aliasime pulled out of the quarterfinal in Lyon and since then he lost four matches on the trot, losing his opening matches in Roland Garros, Wimbledon, Washington and Toronto.
But the 23-year-old arrested the skid in the first round in Cincinnati. Serving well throughout the match, Auger-Aliassime served 9 aces, won 83% points on his first serve and saved 3 of 4 break points. He also held six break points and converted half of them to win 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.
The Canadian looked sharp for most parts of the contest and seems to be regaining the form that saw him win four titles during a 60-27 run last year.
He is 14-13 at the tour level this year and the win over Berrettini could just be the moment that begins to turn things around for him.

Mannarino Knocks Out Gasquet
After losing consecutive opening round matches in Washington and Tornoto, world no. 32 Adrian Mannarino won his opener in Cincinnati on Monday, defeating compatriot Richard Gasquet in straight sets.
The 35-year-old left-hander, who got the solitary break of the opening set in the 10th game, got an early break in the second set as well. But Gasquet broke back immediately, only to see Mannarino break again to restore his lead.
Mannarino did not concede another break in the match and went on to win the contest 6-4, 6-3.
The win improved the Frenchman to 27-23 in 2023. He is 10-10 on hard courts but his best this year came on grass as he reached two finals, winning the title in Newport and finishing runner-up in Mallorca.
Can the three-time tour level champion carry the momentum to the next round?
Auger-Aliassime v Mannarino Prediction and Tip
Back in his elements, Auger-Aliassime will look to build on the start he got against Berrettini. He is a touch better player than Mannarino, but has been of colour for most parts of the season. However, the two-time Cincinnati quarterfinalist will be buoyed by the start and will look to keep the rhythm going against Mannarino.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Auger-Aliassime to win: 1/2
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 23.5 games in the match: 5/6
