THE PREDICTION

World number 10 Frances Tiafoe beat Aslan Karatsev in two tight tiebreaks on Wednesday for an explosive way to start the Washington Open and the 25-year-old should be considered a real title contender this week. Tiafoe has already won two ATP titles this season, on clay in Houston and on grass in Stuttgart, to cover all three surfaces in his career total of three titles so far but he is coming up to the anniversary of his greatest campaign at the US Open, where he took Carlos Alcaraz to five sets before defeat. 18-year-old Juncheng Shang came into Washington at a career-high ATP world ranking of 149th after a run to this stage of the Atlanta Open last week via a stunning victory over Ben Shelton and the Chinese beat him again on Wednesday, this time in three sets, to look a real rising star. Both players look set for a fascinating next few months on tour but Tiafoe beat Shang in straight sets at the Australian Open in January and he can be backed to do so again her in front of an adoring crowd.
