Ben Shelton vs Frances Tiafoe prediction
Ben Shelton’s superb form continued as he cruised past Gabriel Diallo to set a mouthwatering all-American showdown with Frances Tiafoe in Washington.
The fourth seed lashed down 16 aces and won 93% of his first serve points as he surged to a 6-3 6-2 win over the Canadian.
Tiafoe also hit top gear as he crushed ninth seed Flavio Cobolli 6-1 6-4 to tee up a fourth career meeting with Shelton.
Big Foe trails 2-1 in the head-to-head but did win their most recent encounter when he edged a five-set epic at the US Open last year.
None of their previous showdowns have been routine and this one shouldn’t be any different with a three-setter looking like a good shout here with both players relishing the spotlight and the chance to fight for the US bragging rights.
Ben Shelton vs Frances Tiafoe tip: Over 2.5 sets
