The Cincinnati Open is heating up as Stefanos Tsitsipas, a gifted former top-10 talent, faces off against Hungary’s Fábián Marozsán. This match isn’t just about advancing to the next round, but a test of strengths for both players. Can Tsitsipas rediscover his spark after a rocky stretch? And will Marozsán seize the momentum he’s built this season?
Tsitsipas enters the tournament following a tough three-set loss to Christopher O’Connell in Toronto and a first-round retirement at Wimbledon due to back issues. Earlier in the year, he captured his long-sought first ATP 500 title in Dubai, his 12th career title. This also briefly boosted his ranking back into the top 10. Marozsán, on the other hand, had a solid run, reaching the third round in Toronto after wins over Hugo Dellien and Félix Auger-Aliassime.

Tsitsipas is known for his all-court game: powerful groundstrokes, one-handed backhand, and solid serve, evidenced by his 83.3 % win rate on first-serve points in the Dubai final. Marozsán plays an aggressive baseline game, boasting notable wins over top-10 players like Rublev, Dimitrov, and Alcaraz on hard courts. However, his style hasn’t translated into the same level of consistency on hard courts as Tsitsipas.
Tsitsipas’s dominance on serve is clear. He wins over 83 % of first-serve points in a high-pressure final. In terms of season records, Tsitsipas enters with a season singles record of 19–13, compared to Marozsán’s 59–35 career tally, indicating Tsitsipas’s stronger year-to-date consistency.
Considering Tsitsipas’s superior hard-court record, powerful serving, and greater consistency in 2025, he holds a clear edge.
Pick: Tsitsipas to win
