Match announcement
Frances Tiafoe
Current form
Tiafoe has failed in his last two tournaments. He lost to Matteo Berrettini in the second round at the Vienna Masters. And at the Paris Masters, Francis lost to Giovanni Mpeshi in the first round. The American has four wins in nine matches indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Tiafoe is an active attacker, relying on powerful shots from both sides. However, Francis is impulsive: the lack of calm and stability on the baseline often leads to mistakes. The American serves well and hits powerfully from the forehand. It is due to these components of his game that he dictates the conditions on the tennis court.
Current indicators in the tour
Tiafoe is the 18th racket in the world. The American was once in the top 10 of the world rankings. This season, Francis has not won a single trophy, but he has played in two finals. In the final in Cincinnati, he lost to Jannik Sinner, in Houston - he lost to Ben Shelton.
Interesting facts for betting
Tiafoe has won just four of his last 11 matches.
Carlos Alcaraz
Current form
Alcaraz had taken part in an exhibition tournament in New York the day before. The Spaniard played one match, in which he beat Ben Shelton. On indoor hard courts, the Spaniard has seven wins and four losses this season.
Professional qualities
Alcaraz is more versatile than many players on the tour. His grass court game has improved significantly, as evidenced by his two consecutive Wimbledon titles. The Spaniard confidently uses approach shots, drop shots and slices. However, in indoor conditions, Carlos is not yet as consistent: the lack of a confident serve is especially noticeable.
Current indicators in the tour
Alcaraz is the world third-ranked tennis player. This season, the Spaniard has won four trophies, including victories at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. He also won Indian Wells and Beijing, and became a silver medalist at the Olympic Games, which took place in Paris.
Interesting facts for betting
Only two of Alcaraz 10 indoor matches this season have gone in three sets.

1.45Tip and bets
The upcoming match between Tiafoe and Alcaraz will most likely be a drawn-out one. At least, that how their last face-to-face meeting turned out, which was played this season. Carlos is superior to Tiafoe in terms of playing level, but on indoor hard courts the American has his own trump cards - a powerful serve and a good, reliable forehand. We believe that Tiafoe has a good chance of winning the upcoming match.
Our prediction is Tiafoe victory at odds of 2.75
