Casper Ruud, the world No. 5, has been in excellent form this season and comes to Cincinnati with a 38-14 record. In the previous two tournaments, the Norwegian won in Gstaad and then advanced to the Canadian Open semifinals, where he was defeated by Hubert Hurkacz. Ruud, who reached his first major final at the French Open this year, has three titles in 2022: the Buenos Aires Open, the Geneva Open, and the Gstaad Open. He also finished second in his first Masters 1000 final in Miami. However, the fifth seed is 2-3 in Cincinnati and will be looking to improve on that record this year.

Ben Shelton, 19, made an impressive start to the Cincinnati Masters, defeating Italian qualifier Lorenzo Sonego in three sets on Tuesday. This was the American wild card’s second tour-level victory, following his first-round victory over India’s Ramkumar Ramanathan at the Atlanta Open. On Tuesday, the World No. 229 won 81% of the points on his first serve, saved 4 of 5 breakpoints, and converted 1 of 8 to defeat the World No. 56, 7-6 (7-5), 3-6, 7-5. Shelton won the crucial moments of the match, edging the first set tiebreak and taking the deciding set by a single break. This year, Shelton has competed in two Challenger finals.
