Frances Tiafoe vs Facundo Bagnis Preview
Frances Tiafoe is coming into this match after an amazing performance against Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open that had everyone on the toes. Tiafoe showed stretches of splendid shot-making and composed play to challenge Djokovic but a few momentary slips of concentration costed him the match.
Facundo Bagins meanwhile, was defeated by Ramos-Vinolas in the semi-finals of Cordoba Cup. Bagnis had stormed all the way to the semi-finals from the qualifiers in his native ATP tournament in Cordoba. The Argentine was prolific in his quarter-final match against Jozef Kovalik, beating the Slovakian with just three games conceded. Bagnis beat the eighth seed, Federico Delbonis, in the round of 16 as well.

Frances Tiafoe vs Facundo Bagnis Match Prediction
Tiafoe plays an aggressive offensive game that relies on a big serve and powerful forehand. At 6 feet 2 inches tall, Tiafoe can launch serves at over 140 mph, and regularly hits first serves between 120 and 140 mph.
Cordoba was by far Bagins best run so far and it will be interesting to see how he fares against Tiafoe. It is safe to side with Tiafoe as he has shown some really good form and performance in his last game.
Match prediction: Frances Tiafoe wins in straight sets.
