THE PREDICTION
One of the United Cup’s great strengths in this successful first edition is the interesting permutations nation-to-nation and this final between the USA and Italy is a great example that bucks the overall trend. Many of the United Cup ties over the past 10 days have been settled on the WTA side of the draw but with Jessica Pegula more than likely to oust Martina Trevisan in the opening match and Madison Keys likely to do the same to Lucia Bronzetti, this final’s drama should come from the middle two matches on the ATP side of the draw. World number 19 Frances Tiafoe and number 23 Lorenzo Musetti have enjoyed sweeping up, for the most part, much lower-ranked players so far and this will be by far their biggest test. 20-year-old Musetti won their only previous encounter at the Acapulco Open in 2021, in three sets, but both players enjoyed transformative seasons in 2022 and they face-off here as much better players. 24-year-old Tiafoe should be the more battle-hardened of the two after a thrilling comeback victory over Dan Evans in the Sydney City Final but Musetti may have the greater motivation as the player most likely to be 1-0 down in the tie. Back Tiafoe to earn at least a set and leave the victor up to chance.
