Playing Styles and Prediction

Landaluce has already had some epic matches this season as the 20 year-old has made an impression on the tour. After a decent clay court season, Landaluce enters Cincinnati with a five match losing streak as he continues to learn from his experiences on the tour. The Spaniard will be keen to prove he is capable on hard courts as well as clay with Landaluce looking to build momentum ahead of the US Open.

Draper will aim to be aggressive on the forehand while maintaining a high first serve percentage. Meanwhile, Landaluce will aim to test Draper’s stamina levels by extending the rallies and using the backhand to create angles on the court. This will be a tough test of Draper’s match fitness but the Brit will be confident that he can take advantage of Landaluce’s lack of match wins.

Prediction: Draper in three sets.
