THE PREDICTION
World number 13 Frances Tiafoe looked bereft of confidence at the Davis Cup group stages last month, following a tough quarter-final exit to Ben Shelton at the US Open, but he should be boosted once again after a hugely enjoyable stint as a part of Team World at the Laver Cup. Tiafoe and Shelton clinched the winning points for the defending champions to see the American win in all three of his matches in Vancouver and a break from the tour since should see him refreshed in Shanghai. World number 59 Lorenzo Sonego is far better than his current deflated ranking suggests but he is some way off the level required to beat Tiafoe on a stage like this. The Italian turned things around for his nation at the Davis Cup to boost some confidence but a three-set defeat to Ugo Humbert in Beijing last week says Tiafoe should come through. Sonego leads their head-to-head 2-1, though, to suggest a thriller could be on the cards. Back Tiafoe to level things with an outright win.
