Rinky Hijikata vs Frances Tiafoe prediction
Frances Tiafoe broke German hearts to once again show he’s a different proposition in 2026.
The American downed Daniel Altmaier 7-6 4-6 6-4 to set up a showdown with Rinky Hijikata after the Aussie defeated Tom Gentzsch 6-7 7-6 6-3.
Big Foe leads the head-to-head 3-1 which includes two victories this year.
However, Rinky’s solitary success came on their only previous meeting on grass as he was leading 7-5 4-6 1-0 when Tiafoe retired.
A fully fit Tiafoe should continue to have the edge in this match-up and the fourth seed is a clear bet for the win over the world number 106.
