ATP Cincinnati: Kubot zagra z Isnerem w I rundzie

Łukasz Kubot (ATP 61) dostał się bez eliminacji do turnieju Masters 1000 w Cincinnati (pula nagród 2,43 mln dol.), gdzie w I rundzie jego rywalem będzie John Isner (ATP 19), zwycięzca rekordowo długiego meczu w Wimbledonie. W II rundzie ewentualnie Ivan Ljubičić (ATP 17) lub David Nalbandian (ATP 45).

Kubot, najwyżej notowany polski singlista, po raz piąty w karierze (po Miami, Montecarlo, Rzymie i Madrycie) zagra bezpośrednio na bazie rankingu w imprezie rangi Masters 1000 (wyższą mają tylko Wielki Szlem i finały cyklu World Tour). W ubiegłorocznych trzech startach (wszystkich po przejściu eliminacji) wygrał jeden mecz - w Paryżu-Bercy.

Od finału w Costa do Sauípe w lutym trenujący w Pradze lubinianin nie wygrał dotąd dwóch meczów w tym samym turnieju. Po godnym pożegnaniu z Wimbledonem doznał kontuzji kostki i nie mógł bronić punktów w rankingu, w którym spadł. Powrót do rywalizacji w niedzielę lub poniedziałek.

Szansę na powrót do rytmu meczowego Kubot będzie miał także w deblu w duecie z Oliverem Marachem (przed rokiem walczyli o finał). W grze podwójnej wystąpią także Marcin Matkowski i Mariusz Fyrstenberg (ćwierćfinały w dwóch ostatnich sezonach). Z eliminacji singla wycofał się Michał Przysiężny.
