THE PREDICTION

World number 25 Frances Tiafoe made a huge statement of intent late on Monday night with a searing three-set victory over Matteo Berrettini, claiming both set one and three in tiebreaks. The fine margins of victory compare well with his defeat to Nick Kyrgios, by a similar scoreline, at the Washington Open two weeks ago to suggest the American is in some of his best form ahead of the US Open – where he stunned Andrey Rublev last season to reach the round of 16. World number 52 Sebastian Korda beat Karen Khachanov in straight sets on Monday to back-up recent results over Grigor Dimitrov and Sebastian Baez but the 22-year-old’s 2022 has been a lot more erratic than his breakthrough season last year. Tiafoe holds an impressive 3-0 lead over Korda in their head-to-head, suggesting there is a mental edge here in favour of the elder American, and he will be well-backed by the Cincinnati crowd after claiming one of the best wins of his career over Berrettini. Tiafoe knows how to make the most of that support and he can be backed to edge this outright, with Korda taking a set in two of their three matches.
