Tiafoe has won seven of his last eight matches on hard courts. That run includes reaching the Cincinnati final, beating four seeded players in a row. Ranked 12th to Vacherot's 23rd, he arrives with both the form and the ranking on his side. Tiafoe meets with Valentin Vacherot at Louis Armstrong Stadium at the US Open, and our match prediction backs Frances.

Big Foe has been the standout story of the hard-court swing. He knocked out Tien, Auger-Aliassime, Musetti and Nakashima in succession at Cincinnati before falling in the final. That form has carried straight into New York, where he has won his first two rounds. A player this locked in should be too much to handle for Valentin.

Especially with Val’s mixed build-up that featured a loss to Navone and Vallejo on hard courts before this event. He has settled in at the US Open, though, beating Kovacevic and Majchrzak to reach this round. What’s more, the two have never met before, so there is no history to lean on either way.

However, Tiafoe's ranking combined with his run to a Masters 1000 final all point the same way. And that’s a win for Frances.
