Aleksandar Vukic vs Frances Tiafoe prediction
Aleksandar Vukic struggled for much of last season, with a host of first-round exits. His best result was a quarter-final appearance in Tokyo while he did begin 2025 in encouraging fashion as he got through to the third-round at the Australian Open, his home tournament.
Frances Tiafoe is down to 30 in the world rankings after a tough season. He ended his campaign early in October after a surprise defeat to Yannick Hanfmann in the second-round of the Shanghai Masters. He impressed at Roland Garros, making the quarter-finals, while he did reach a final in Houston a few weeks earlier, but 2025 was a step back for Tiafoe and he will be heading into this campaign with a point to prove.
The head-to-head is locked at 1-1. Tiafoe won their most recent meeting, a hard-fought victory in the third-round of the Canadian Open last season. It could be a struggle for the American after some time away, but he has enough quality to get the job done.
