Damir Dzumhur vs Frances Tiafoe Prediction
Damir Dzumhur has already equalled his best-ever finish at Indian Wells by reaching the second round and he will be hoping to go one step further at least.
The Bosnian number one has come through two rounds of qualifying and then he followed that up by beating Roberto Bautista Agut in three sets on Wednesday.
He now takes on 16th-seed Frances Tiafoe in the second round and this is their first meeting on the ATP Tour.
Tiafoe reached the semis just two years ago and he will be eager to do well once again. It is fair to say that his 2025 has not really clicked into gear yet so he will be hoping to remedy that on the Sunshine Double.
He has played four tournaments so far this year, won his first match in each of those, but has been eliminated in his second match in each of those. He will need to raise his game and consistency levels if he is to do well this next week or so.
Ultimately, Tiafoe should be too good for Dzumhur in this match. He is not firing on all cylinders but he is the better player and should get the victory.
