The round of 64 match of Cincinnati Open 2023 between John Isner and Jordan Thompson will take place on August 15.
Throughout 2023, spanning eight months, John Isner has only managed to win three first-round matches. Notable among these victories are his wins against Australian players Alex Bolt in Newport last month and Rinky Hijikata in Los Cabos two weeks ago. The American known for his strong serves has a history of success at the Cincinnati Masters, as well as in other American tournaments over his career. Notably, he was the runner-up to Rafael Nadal a decade ago and reached the quarterfinals in the 2022 edition of the tournament.
Jordan Thompson returned to the Cincinnati Masters after a four-year gap and performed well, beating Alexandre Muller and Marc-Andrea Huesler to enter the main draw. Earlier this year, he attempted to qualify at the Miami American Masters event but suffered a surprising loss to Alex Molcan in the first round. His confidence and momentum gained during the grass court season are currently helping him achieve positive results on hard courts. This is remarkable considering his struggles earlier this year on similar surfaces in main tour events. Before his successful qualification in Cincinnati, he defeated Adrian Mannarino and Christopher Eubanks, reaching the quarterfinals in Washington. In opening-round matches at the Masters level, his win-loss record stands at 8 wins and 7 losses. Impressively, he secured six of these victories in the United States.
