The round of 64 match of Cincinnati Open 2023 between Richard Gasquet and Adrian Mannarino will take place on August 14.
Richard Gasquet has been absent from hard court matches since pulling out of the second round in the Miami Masters in March. He also hasn’t won any main-draw tour-level matches since his quarterfinal achievement in Stuttgart two months ago. Notably, his last semifinal appearance at the Masters level occurred in Cincinnati four years ago. Despite recent challenges, his record in opening-round matches in this tournament is positive at 9-6.
Following a challenging clay court season, Adrian Mannarino’s season gained momentum with strong performances in grass tournaments. However, his form has waned with the transition away from grass. Despite winning the Newport title last month, he faced defeats in Washington and Toronto on hardcourts. This might be a temporary dip, as Mannarino has excelled on hard surfaces in the past 20 months, particularly in the United States. He reached four quarterfinals or better on American hardcourts last year, including a title win in Winston Salem. He continued this success with two similar results this year in Dallas and Delray Beach.
