Frances Tiafoe vs Felix Auger-Aliassime prediction

Frances Tiafoe had a big win last time out as he put fellow American Learner Tien in his place winning in three sets. That was a huge victory for Tiafoe against the young starlet and will give the ever-entertaining 28-year-old a huge shot of confidence.

He meets Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime in what has all the makings for a highly entertaining match.

He has made it to the quarter-finals on three occasions in Cincinnati and he will be hoping to make it number four this time around. He is the second seed in this year’s edition and he looked like it in his 7-5 6-1 win over Juan Manuel Cerundolo.

The head-to-head favours Auger-Aliassime as he has won three of the four meetings on the ATP Tour but Tiafoe won the last meeting and that came earlier this year at Halle.

We expect a back-and-forth thriller here with neither man expected dominate. Auger-Aliassime is favoured but our pick here is on this one going three sets.
