Frances Tiafoe vs Marin Cilic prediction
Marin Cilic pulled clear of Sho Shimabukuro to tee up a showdown with maverick 15th seed Frances Tiafoe.
The Croatian veteran claimed a 7-6 6-1 win over the Japanese qualifier and will now tackle the American for a third time.
You have to go way back to 2017 and 2018 for the first two meetings with Marin prevailing in both.
Big Foe has lost his last two in recent weeks, but there’s no doubt he’s got his Mojo flowing again this season with a recent title in Halle his first since 2023.
Cilic will lean on the psychology of the head-to-head, but it’s so long ago that it shouldn’t affect Tiafoe, who will want to set the record straight and get back on track with the US Open not too far away.
