Outsider looks value in clash of Cincinnati qualifiers

Olympic champion Andy Murray jumped on a plane bound for Cincinnati shortly after defeating Juan Martin del Potro at the Olympics and he is one of several top players to receive a bye into the second round of the ATP Western & Southern Open.

But there are a number of matches today featuring lesser players and Malek Jaziri could prove to be the standout bet in the men’s draw when he clashes with fellow qualifier John Millman.

Jaziri travelled to Rio and took the first set off of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga before the mercurial Frenchman fought back to win the match.
