tournament, following up on victories against Flavio Cobolli, Alex de Minaur, and Jiri Lehecka.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Fils has become a genuine dark horse to win the US Open this year, particularly with Carlos Alcaraz playing his first tournament for five months and Jannik Sinner missing the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Fils now has history on his side as the past three winners of the Cincinnati Open

unable to capitalise on his momentum at the final Grand Slam of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Coric was beaten in the second round of the New York Grand Slam, in straight sets by <a

beaten at that stage of the Grand Slam in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman lost to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Matteo-arnaldi\">Matteo Arnaldi<\/a> in 2023 and Gabriel Diallo in
