Schwartzman Overcomes Evans Challenge
Finishing in the last 16 at the Canadian Open, Schwartzman drew British No.1 Dan Evans in his opening fixture at the ongoing Cincinnati Masters.
With just one title this year, the current World No.14 hasn’t had a season to remember so far and is eyeing a strong run at the Masters to take a wave of wins into the US Open, the only remaining Grand Slam this season.
Wary of another slip-up on concrete just days ahead of the US Open, the 29-year-old Argentine ran out a comfortable 6-2 winner in the opening set.
However, not one to go down without a fight, Evans staged a valiant comeback in the second set as he took the match to a deciding set.
The Argentine, however, managed to recover from a mid-match slump and thumped the Briton in the final set to eventually prevail 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 and set up a third-round showdown with burly American Frances Tiafoe.
The American has the game to take down the best in the business and the Argentine will be wary of his opponent’s ability as he bids to go past him and reach the last 16.

Tiafoe Takes Down Humbert
Going into the Cincinnati Masters on the back of a round-of-16 finish at the Canadian Open, Tiafoe was drawn to face rising Frenchman and the reigning Halle champion Ugo Humbert in the opening round.
And, as was expected in a match involving two fierce competitors, the match went down to the wire. Though Tiafoe came through in straight sets, the eventual score-line did reflect how the close the match was.
After taking the opening set 7-5, the American ran into a fiercely-motivated Humbert as the Frenchman matched him shot for shot and stayed in the contest before taking the second set to a decider.
Tiafoe prevailed in the tiebreak but not before being put through a stern test. The third-set tiebreak eventually fell 11-9 in the American’s favor.
His only match with Schwartzman at Barcelona this year went to three sets and the American, feeding off the home support, would hope to get over the line this time.
Schwartzman v Tiafoe Prediction and Tip
The win in their only head-to-head meeting would Schwartzman at a slight advantage going into this third-round battle, but Tiafoe would fancy setting the record straight on his home turf.
