THE PREDICTION
World number 19 Frances Tiafoe was superb on Friday in a straight-sets victory over Miomir Kecmanovic, handing the Serb a first-set bagel en-route to the semi-finals. The 24-year-old is in the form of his career after reaching the semi-finals of the US Open last month, where he lost to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in five thrilling sets. World number 120 Soonwoo Kwon is far better than his current deflated ranking suggests and he proved that early in Tokyo when he stunned sixth-seed Alex de Minaur in straight sets. The South Korean also handed his quarter-final opponent a bagel on Friday, taking out Pedro Martinez in efficient style, but this first meeting with Tiafoe looks likely to go only one way. Tiafoe can count Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev and Rafael Nadal amongst his recent victories and he looks the just-about favourite for the Japan Open title now. Take the American to win outright, although probably in two.
