The top four seeds have all made it through to the last eight of the Western & Southern Open. Fourth seeded Andrey Rublev take on Benoit Paire who is the only unseeded player left in this tournament. Rublev is world ranked seventh in the world and has won one title this year. That was in Rotterdam back in March. His form has dipped a little of late and this run to the last eight in Cincinnatio follows three tournaments in which he has failed to get to this stage of an event. This week has seen him beat Marin Cilic (after losing the first set) and Gael Monfils in a two-set match with both being won by tie-breaks.

Benoit Paire began the week ranked 50th in the world. This is only the third time he's reached the last eight of a tournament this year, the other two being on clay. He's shown better form this week though it nearly came to an end in the first round. Paire had to come from a set down to defeat Miomir Kecmanovic and then defeated the sixth seed Denis Shapovalov and John Isner, both in three sets. The latter match had two tie-breaks.  A bet on over 21.5 games in this match looks a winning one and have a side-bet on there being a tie-break.
