Cincinnati: Kecmanovic ousts Montreal champion Carreno Busta

Pablo Carreno Busta triumphed last week at the National Bank Open, but his campaign at a second consecutive Masters 1000 tournament never got off the ground. Carreno Busta lost in round one of the Western & Southern Open on Tuesday afternoon, falling to Miomir Kecmanovic 1-6, 7-5, 7-6(4). Kecmanovic advanced at the Linder Family Tennis Center after two hours and 55 minutes.

The 36th-ranked Serb will next play Jannik Sinner, who survived a three-set thriller of his own on Tuesday. Sinner got the best of Thanasi Kokkinakis 6-7(9), 6-4, 7-6(6) to celebrate his 21st birthday.
