FRANCES TIAFOE VS ALEJANDRO TABILO PREDICTION
One of the most competitive matches on paper in this first round in Montreal sees Frances Tiafoe face off against Alejandro Tabilo in what should be a cracking match and one that is tough to call.
Tiafoe will relish playing on his favoured hard court surface and his only two previous meetings against Tabilo have come on hard courts in North America which has seen him win both matches comfortably in straight sets. His form is relatively good coming into this tournament in Montreal and he will be keen to progress.
While Tabilo has yet to beat Tiafoe, he can point to the fact that he is playing the best tennis of his career in 2024 and he is a much better player now than when they last met. He has two ATP titles under his belt already this year and broke into the top 20 in the world in July. He certainly prefers clay courts and he will be hoping to do well on his Canadian Open debut.
There is little to choose between them in the betting but our marginal preference is with Tiafoe. The American is in solid form and relishes hard courts. Tabilo is enjoying a great year but recent form has tailed off a little bit and for that reason, we think Tiafoe progressed.
