Eliot Spizzirri vs Frances Tiafoe prediction
Eliot Spizzirri makes his return from an elbow injury at the French Open, having not competed on the tour since the Dallas Open in the middle of February. The American’s campaign began strongly, as he advanced to the quarter-finals in Auckland and troubled Jannik Sinner in their third-round match at the Australian Open, losing in four sets.
He plays Frances Tiafoe in round one. The 28-year-old participated in Hamburg last week, winning his first-round match but then losing to Camilo Ugo Carabelli. His best result on clay this season was a semi-final appearance in Houston, but he could only get through to the second-round at the Italian Open. Tiafoe performed well here last year, making it all the way to the last eight.
Spizzirri will be short of match sharpness, and this is his first competitive match on clay this season, right at the end of the European swing. Everything points to a routine win for Tiafoe.
