THE PREDICTION

World number 15 Frances Tiafoe is clearly searching desperately for his best form on tour right now, with two tiebreaks over Radu Albot, former Delray Beach champion or not, far from the level required to go deep here. The 26-year-old won his maiden ATP title here back in 2018 and he added two more titles in Stuttgart and Houston last season but he has been a shadow of himself since losing to Ben Shelton in the quarter-finals of the US Open last summer, managing to win back-to-back matches just once since. 21-year-old Flavio Cobolli will break inside the top 70 for the first time after a three-set victory over Zachary Svajda on Thursday. The Italian came through qualifying as a lucky loser to enjoy that second wind momentum we so often see at ATP 250 level and he has nothing to lose in this first encounter with Tiafoe, who has plenty to in front of home support. Back Tiafoe to win at least a set as the likelier of two very capable semi-finalists.

TIP: FRANCES TIAFOE TO WIN A SET
