Collignon, however, is the sportsbooks\u2019 favorite by a good (though not overwhelming) margin. Collignon has a better match record than Navone in 2026, going 34-15 to Navone\u2019s 25-19. Their 2026 hardcourt records are very similar, though. Navone is 8-6, Collignon 8-7. There\u2019s a lot to think about in this ATP Cincinnati match.<\/p>\n<p><b>Best Bet to Make<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Welcome to our best bet section.

Navone is a solid player having a decent year. Collignon is 17-5 on clay, the main source of his rise in the rankings, but this is a hardcourt match, and Collignon is not an elite hardcourt player. You shouldn\u2019t bet on this match, but if you insist, over 2.5 sets in a long and complicated match feels right.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, <\/span><b>betting on over 2.5 sets is the best bet you can make. \u00a0 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Value bet\/ the best odds: over 2.5 sets at 2.25 at @unibet<\/b><\/p>\n<h4><b>Rinky Hijikata \u2013 Gael Monfils: 19:00 EST<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b>H2H: 0-0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Rinky Hijikata and Gael Monfils are struggling coming into this ATP Cincinnati match. Hijikata has lost his last four matches, while Monfils is 1-4 in his last five matches. Monfils did win a Montreal match over Kamil Majchrzak, and that\u2019s why the sportsbooks have him as the favorite here. However, Hijikata is 16-11 on hardcourts this year, Monfils only 3-5. Should Monfils be favored?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76113\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76113\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2024\/11\/s-1.jpeg\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Belgian Raphael Collignon pictured in action during a tennis match in the round of 32 of the singles competition at the ATP, Tennis Herren European Open Tennis tournament in Antwerp, Monday 14 October 2024.

Hijikata doesn\u2019t deserve the benefit of the doubt given his four-match losing streak coming into this ATP Cincinnati tournament, but Monfils being a clear favorite despite a 1-4 record in his last five is hard to trust. Over 2.5 sets in another coin-flip kind of match feels like the right bet, but the bigger point is you probably shouldn\u2019t risk money on a match like this one.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, <\/span><b>betting on over 2.5 sets is the best bet you can make<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Value bet\/ the best odds: over 2.5 sets at 2.23 at @betsson<\/b><\/p>\n<h4><b>Zachary Svajda \u2013 Mattia Bellucci: 20:30 EST<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b>H2H: 0-0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Zachary Svajda is 17-8 on hardcourts this year. Mattia Bellucci is 12-10. Bellucci has played just one match since late June, and he lost it. Svajda beat Denis Shapovalov in Montreal before losing to Arthur Fils and has played five matches since the end of grass season, so he has a little more match play under his belt in recent weeks going into the ATP Cincinnati first round.<\/p>\n<p><b>Best Bet to Make<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parlay\/hedge options: Svajda moneyline at 1.56 at @pinnacle, Bellucci +4.5 games at 1.53 at @unibet<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confidence level on a scale of 1-10: 4 \u2013 you should bet no more than half a unit on this match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can bet some money on this match, but not too much. Svajda is an improving player but not a fully established one, so you don\u2019t want to put all your chips into the middle of the table on him, at least not yet. However, he is a good bit better than Bellucci and should win in straights.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, <\/span><b>betting on Svajda winning 2:0 is the best bet you can make<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Value bet\/ the best odds: Svajda winning 2:0 at 2.40 @betway<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Main Photo Credit: Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><!-- Arena Widgets Start --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Arena Widgets End -->\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Arena Widgets Start --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Arena Widgets End -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ATP Cincinnati tournament will be a highly intriguing prelude to\u00a0the 2026 U.S. Open.
