This looks like being one of the best matches in round two of the Japan Open in Tokyo. Frances Tiafoe is the second seed in this outdoor hard court tournament and he faces qualifier Arthur Fils. Two previous meetings have both seen more than 20.5 games played and our prediction is that stat will come up again here.
In the quarter-finals, the winner will take on either eighth seed Valentin Vacherot or qualifier Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Tiafoe may be seeded second in this ATP 500 tournament, but he is the outsider to win this match. The American is the world number eight, but that's just a single place above his French opponent so you can see why we expect a long match here.
Round one saw Tiafoe beat Kei Nishikori in straight sets. He recently reached the semi-finals of the US Open.
Before that he was the runner-up in Cincinnati and it was Fils who beat him. That match went to three sets as did the other previous match, also won by Fils.
His opponent here had to qualify, despite being in the world's top ten. Both his qualifiers went to a deciding set.
He then beat Luca van Assche in round one for the loss of five games.
