Frances Tiafoe vs Alexandre Muller prediction
Frances Tiafoe is seeking a first ever appearance in the Madrid round of 16 when he meets Alexandre Muller.
The American was 7-5 3-1 up on Luciano Darderi when the Italian retired, allowing the 16th seed to reach the third round for the third time.
Muller is having the year of his life so far and is posting some significant and consistent results on clay.
The world number 39 will be operating at another career high come the end of this tournament and continues to play well in clutch moments, taking down 21st seed Ugo Humbert in a final set tie-break.
Tiafoe has the explosive style and spontaneity with craft to excel on this surface while Muller arguably has the greater consistency at present.
Big Foe won their only previous meeting quite comfortably in Acapulco earlier this year and he’s a solid bet again here.
Frances Tiafoe vs Alexandre Muller tip: Over 2.5 sets
