Frances Tiafoe vs Alex de Minaur prediction
Frances Tiafoe advanced to the round-of-16 in Toronto after beating Aleksandar Vukic in three sets. The American has struggled for consistency in his first two matches of this tournament but has still dug in at vital times to continue his progress in the competition. Tiafoe earned a break in the middle of the decider to win 6-3 4-6 6-3 against the world number 99.
Tiafoe will now play Alex de Minaur. The Washington Open champion was given a walkover in the last round as Christopher O’Connell was unable to feature due to injury. The Australian will have benefited from a few days rest considering his exploits over the past 10 days or so and will harbour thoughts of another deep run after making the final in 2023.
De Minaur leads the head-to-head 2-1 and 1-0 on outdoor hard court. Nevertheless, Tiafoe did win their last encounter at the Paris Masters in 2022. The Australian should be raring to go for this and his consistency over three sets is likely to prove too much for Tiafoe.
