Frances Tiafoe Vs Felix Aliassime Match Prediction: Who Will Win This Match?
The Canadian remains the firm favourite heading into this match. Though he has been going through a bit of a slump, he has improved immensely over the last year. He won his first career title this year at the Rotterdam Open by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas. Tiafoe on the other hand, is a capable tennis player but is highly inconsistent. His heavy groundstrokes might give Felix some trouble on clay but he will be relying on his superior serve and experience to get thorugh the match.
Prediction: Aliassime to win in straight sets.
