I never like this time of the year in tennis after Wimbledon as most of the top players take time off to rest ready for the US Open which starts at the end of next month. Federer has confirmed that he will play in the Cincinnati Masters and then the US Open, the Cincinnati Masters seems to be a good lead up tournament for most of the top players. We don't have to wait long for this tournament as it starts on August 10th.

Montreal Masters starts a week before so we only have to wait till 5th. August to see most of the best players in action again. And even before that there is a nice ATP 500 event in Washington which starts next Monday. I am thinking most of the top 50 will start their road to US open on this tournament.

I see Federer is listed to play at this tournament on their website however he announced that he will skip it. I see Nadal and Djokovic are also on the list of players but has it been confirmed that they will play? I'm interested to see how Stefanos Tsitsipas goes in this tournament as he is someone who can offer some value at good odds in the US Open and he is back on hard courts which suites him better I think.

I also can't find anyone from the top seed confirming as well. Oh you know I'm a big fan of Tsitsipas so I'm going to continue to throw some money on him specially if the odds are really good.

So it seems that Roger will really go on Cincinnati Masters, good move for him, need to rest that aging body then used this tournament leading to US Open, so it makes sense. Cincinnati Masters starts on August 10 and then US Open in Aug. 28 to Sept. 8.

Yes my friend, I know you are a huge fan of Tsitsipas, that is why I mentioned him. I'm also liking him more on hard courts which the US Open is played on so I think the $26 odds are very good. I'm thinking about putting $20 on him to win, Del Potro also plays well at the US Open and he has odds of $13 currently which isn't bad either, if they were at around $15 I would bet on him as well.
