Frances Tiafoe Betting Preview
Frances Tiafoe is coming off a 3 set win over Holger Rune that took 30 games to decide. In the victory, Tiafoe won 78 percent of his first serve points and 61 percent of his second serve points. Tiafoe won 70 percent of his total service points and converted on 3 of his 6 break points. Tiafoe got 50 percent of his first serves in play and hit 13 aces. Tiafoe pulled off a miracle comeback after trailing the third set 2-5, and it’s going to be interesting to see how he responds from such an emotional win. Tiafoe looks to win his first title of the year and his fourth title of his career. Tiafoe hasn’t won a title since last year’s Stuttgart Open, and he lost his only other final trip this year at the U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championships.

Jannik Sinner vs Frances Tiafoe H2H

Jannik Sinner vs Frances Tiafoe Prediction
Sinner is the rightful favorite as he’s flexing his muscle as the best player in the world, he owns the H2H, and he has far and away more big match experience. However, we’re getting nearly three times our money with Tiafoe. One, Tiafoe isn’t the same player he was a couple of years ago, and three of the matches were in 2021 or later. Tiafoe also plays some of his best tennis on the biggest stages or when he has the crowd behind him. That’s the case here.
Will Sinner win? Probably. But I do want to take a shot in the dark with Tiafoe at these odds. On US soil, he’s a live dog.
