Can Frances Tiafoe end his losing run against fourth seed Alexander Zverev? The 21st seed takes on the German in round four of the outdoor hard court BNP Paribas Open and will aim to avoid a seventh successive defeat. Read our match prediction below.
Next up for the winner will be a quarter-final against either ninth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime or 30th seeded Arthur Fils.
It was in 2017 that Tiafoe recorded his only win over Zverev. He trails him 8-1 and 3-1 on this surface.
He is in good form though and recently was the runner-up in Acapulco. So far in this Sunshine Swing tournament, he's beaten Jenson Brooksby and got revenge on Flavio Coboilli for that Acapulco defeat for the loss of only nine games.
Alexander Zverev first played this outdoor hard court Masters tournament 11 years ago. His best is two quarter-finals in 2021 and 2024. He's won nine of his 12 matches on this surface this year. The semi-finals were reached at the Australian Open but he lost in round two in Acapulco.
To reach this fourth round, Zverev has beaten Matteo Berrettini in straight sets but needed three to defeat Brandon Nakashima. He's played a tie-break in two of his last three matches. We tip more than 20.5 games here.
