Mcdonald vs Basilashvili: Cincinnati Open 2022 Where to watch, Schedule, Date, Live Streaming details

In July, Nikoloz Basilashvili struggled a lot, both on and off the court. He (together with Aslan Karatsev) were both being investigated by the ITF for alleged match-fixing, which is likely what caused him to lose both of his matches against Hugo Gaston in Bastad (retired) and Aslan Karatsev in Hamburg (bageled in the second set). The former world’s 16th-ranked player is currently 3/8 on outdoor hardcourts, and all three of his victories came in a single week in Doha, when he attempted to retain his championship and did well to go second to Roberto Bautista Agut. The 2022 Indian Wells Masters runner-up enters this match with a dismal 1-3 record in first-round matches at Cincinnati Masters, with the most recent two of those matches finishing in losses to Fabio Fognini in 2021 and Andrey Rublev in 2019.

Mackenzie McDonald has struggled to win second-round matches on the main tour for almost 19 months, but he is currently having trouble getting past the first round barrier. In his most recent two appearances, at the Washington Open and Montreal Masters, he fell to Emil Ruusuvuori in three sets and Alex Molcan in straight sets without recording a victory. The American finally made his mark in the main draw of the Cincinnati Masters in the final edition in 2021 when he overcame Brandon Nakashima in the first round before facing the in-form Daniil Medvedev in the next round. This came after four unsuccessful tries.
