Frances Tiafoe vs Alex Michelsen prediction

Frances Tiafoe made it a perfect ten to rampage into the last eight with a superb win over former champion Daniil Medvedev.

The American moved to 10-0 in matches played at Louis Armstrong Stadium courtesy of an impressive 7-6 6-4 7-6 victory against the Russian.

Indeed, the 11th seed could be forgiven for wishing he could just stay on his favourite court for the remainder of the tournament, but his current level is more to do with his excellent form in 2026 rather than the superstition of where he plays.

Next up, it’s a third tussle with fellow American Alex Michelsen, whose 7-6 6-4 6-4 success over Tomas Martin Etcheverry means he is yet to drop a set at Flushing Meadows so far.

Big Foe leads this match-up 2-0 and has never dropped a set to the world number 46. That may change here given how well the 22-year-old has been playing, but we still feel the higher rank, know-how at this tournament and psychology of that match-up will pay dividends for Frances in the end.
