Gael Monfils enters the Cincinnati Open first-round clash against Rinky Hijikata as the slight market favorite, buoyed by his veteran experience on hard courts and a main-draw wildcard that keeps the 39-year-old in the ATP Masters spotlight. Hijikata arrives with a 10-14 record in 2026 and has dropped four straight matches, most recently a straight-sets defeat to Jaume Munar in Montreal, leaving the Australian ranked around No. 93 in inconsistent form. Monfils, ranked far lower but still capable of explosive athletic play, brings a strong head-to-head pedigree in similar conditions despite limited recent wins. The pair has never met, so the outcome hinges on whether Monfils’ tactical nous and physical resilience outweigh Hijikata’s youth and baseline consistency on the Lindner Family Tennis Center surface.
