THE PREDICTION

World number 12 Frances Tiafoe spends the clay swing dreaming of playing on grass and it will be fascinating to see what he can achieve on the surface over the next five weeks. The 25-year-old reached the semi-finals of the US Open last summer to redefine his outlook on tour and he has enjoyed a largely string season so far. Adding a second ATP title from Houston and making the semi-finals of Indian Wells. This looks a tough opener for the American, though, as he starts in the round of 16 as the third seed here against world number 37 Jiri Lehecka. The 21-year-old will also be glad to see the back of clay as a lover of faster conditions and he will be pleased with his comeback over Marcos Giron on Monday after losing to the American at Roland-Garros last time out. A win on grass should give the Czech some momentum against Tiafoe playing his first match on the surface this season but back Tiafoe to earn at least a set as the likelier of two very capable winners of this first meeting.
