H. Laaksonen - T. Monteiro

An interesting match between two veterans in Cincinnati in the final qualifying round Laaksonen 102 ATP vs. Monteiro 64 ATP. Well, Brazil is purely a grass-court player and on hard surfaces, it is far from having a positive win-loss ratio every season, but the 28-year-old Brazilian is improving his game, but I think it is too much to underestimate the Swiss. Laaksonen's main surface is hard and although the Swiss is having a very poor season, he should not be written off as he is a top class tennis player. Between them, Monteiro leads 2-0, but both meetings were on clay, which I think will have no effect here, except that Laaksonen will seek revenge, and it is difficult to defeat the same opponent 3 times. A good match between Schweizer and Daniel gives me hope to trust him even more
