THE PREDICTION

World number 41 Frances Tiafoe went down easy in the first set against Dan Evans on Thursday but broke back several times in the second and third to totally tip the match on its head. The 23-year-old looks set for a brilliant 2022 if he can start next season how he is ending this one, with a recent run to the final of the Vienna Open a recent stand-out tournament for the charismatic American. He faces compatriot Tommy Paul for a second time in their careers having won their first encounter in straight sets at Delray Beach last season. However, 24-year-old Paul has also burst back into form in recent weeks after a fairly dismal couple of years and his three-sets victory over an out-of-sorts Andy Murray on Thursday evening is one of his best of the season. Given Tiafoe’s current lack of cutting-edge winning, taking this match to see three sets seems a suitable alternative to picking a tough winner here.
