Learner Tien caused a surprise in round three of the BNP Paribas Open. The 25th seed beat Ben Shelton and now takes on 18th-seeded Alejandro Davidovich Fokina for a place in the last eight of this outdoor hard court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
In the quarter-finals, the winner will face either unseeded Joao Fonseca or second seed Jannik Sinner.
Tien had never won a match in this Sunshine Swing tournament before this year. He's on a good run in 2026 though with two straight sets wins. He's played three tie-breaks so it might be a profitable idea to place a bet on one here.
The 20-year-old has won nine of his 12 outdoor hard court matches played this year. A win here will take him into his third quarter-final of the year with one last four appearance at Delray Beach.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina won the one previous match between these two players. That was on this surface last year with only four games being lost. The 26-year-old Spaniard had to go to three sets in the last round to defeat 12th seed Jakub Mensik.
He's also attempting to reach a third outdoor hard court quarter-final of the year. His best run has been a last four in Adelaide.
We tip Tien to win.
