THE LOWDOWN
FRANCES TIAFOE
Frances Tiafoe reached the fourth round of this event in 2020 but his career best remains a quarter-final finish at the Australian Open in 2019. Tiafoe is currently ranked at 51st in the world with his highest ever being in February 2019 after that quarter-final appearance when the American was ranked as high as 28th.
CHRISTOPHER EUBANKS
This is Christopher Eubanks’ first appearance at a Grand Slam event this year as he made it through the tournament’s qualification phase. In qualifying, Eubanks had back-to-back straight set victories before a hard-fought tiebreaker victory over Sebastian Baez. Eubanks is currently ranked at 207th in the world with first round appearances at the Australian Open and US Open being his career best major appearances.
THE PREDICTION
The previous records of both of these players as well as the ranking and status of both leads this to be a likely fairly comfortable Tiafoe victory. Despite a run of underwhelming performances for Frances Tiafoe in 2021, he will fully expect to reach the second round of this competition. A straight set victory is also likely.
