Frances Tiafoe vs Alexandre Muller Prediction

Frances Tiafoe has a very non-descript start to 2025 but the American will be keen to build some momentum now. With the Sunshine Double just around the corner, he will know he needs to get some wins under his belt this week and get some form going.

He meets a player in Alexandre Muller who comes into this tournament in excellent form having reached the final in Rio before losing to Sebastian Baez on Sunday. The Frenchman had an outstanding week but there has to be concerns around the quick turnaround in time as well as the transition back from his favourite clay surface to the hard courts of Acapulco.

For those reasons, we favour Tiafoe here. we would naturally favour Tiafoe in this match-up on this surface anyhow, but given Muller’s exploits 48 hours ago, even more so here. Back Tiafoe with confidence.
