Arribage and Olivetti enter the Cincinnati Open doubles draw on outdoor hard courts with strong recent momentum from the preceding National Bank Open in Montreal, where the French pair advanced to the semifinals after victories over Bhambri/Venus and Marozsan/Medvedev before falling to top seeds Arevalo/Pavic. Their consistent hard-court results and established partnership contrast with Fery and Lehecka, whose pairing features the higher-ranked singles player Lehecka alongside the lower-profile Fery; Lehecka has focused primarily on singles this summer, including a Miami final and early Montreal exit. The matchup pits the more doubles-specialized duo against a team whose success may hinge on Lehecka’s adaptability and serving power on the fast surface, with both sides lacking extensive head-to-head doubles history.
