Flavio Cobolli vs Frances Tiafoe prediction
After a slow start to 2026 that saw him lose in the opening round of his first three tournaments, Flavio Cobolli hit form in the Delray Beach Open where he reached the semi-finals, and he has now gone one better in Mexico.
The world number 20 was tested by Miomir Kecmanovic in the semi-finals but squeezed through an incredibly tight match that saw him win seven points fewer than his opponent overall.
The man standing in the way of the 23-year-old's first hard-court ATP title is eighth seed Frances Tiafoe, who most recently overcame compatriot Brandon Nakashima in an equally close battle.
Both men have fought tooth and nail to reach the final, showing fighting qualities that would make them worthy winners of this event. Something has to give here, but it is likely to be decided by fine margins whichever way it goes. With that in mind, we're backing this one to go to a decider.
Flavio Cobolli vs Frances Tiafoe tip: Over 2.5 sets
