Frances Tiafoe vs Sebastian Ofner: Preview
World No. 10 Frances Tiafoe has been in great form this year already stacking up two titles namely the Houston Open at the start of the year and then the Mercedes Cup in German a few months ago. Leading up to the US Open, he was in great shape and in high spirits after great performances at the Citi Open. In his first-round encounter against youngster, Learner Tien, he was absolutely ruthless giving the 18-year-old no chance of settling into the game whatsoever. He progressed to the second round by a scoreline of 2-6, 5-7, 1-6.
On the other hand, Sebastian Ofner has made his return to the court after an injury that kept him out of action for the majority of the last year. His notable performances this year have been his title win at the Salzbug Challenger and his runners-up finish at the Iilkey Challenger in Great Britain. He shocked the entire world at the Roland Garros this year after making it to the round of the 16 stage through from the qualifiers which was way ahead of everyone’s expectations. He beat Nuno Borges in his first-round encounter by a scoreline of 7-6, 3-6, 7-6, 6-4.
Frances Tiafoe vs Sebastian Ofner: Prediction
Sebastian Ofner is not among the favorites to make it to the round of 32 stage in a competition like the US Open. He hasn’t had much of success in the major ATP tournaments and American star boy Tiafoe is expected to make it easy against the Austrian. This will be the first meeting between the duo with Tiafoe expected to have the whole crowd behind him and dominate the match right from the very start.
Prediction: Frances Tiafoe to win in straight sets.
