Coming off a shocking loss in Washington, Frances Tiafoe aims for a confidence-boosting win over Marin Cilic in the second round in Montreal.

Tiafoe is a sharp play to cover -2.5 games against the former US Open champion.

Current Form:

Frances Tiafoe did not have a promising start to his North American hard-court campaign. The two-time US Open semifinalist crashed out in the first round of the 2026 Washington Open, falling to Terence Atmane 6-4, 3-6, 4-6. Tiafoe is 14-7 on the hard court in 2026.

Marin Cilic ended a three-match slide by beating Sho Shimabukoro 7-6, 6-1 in the first round. Cilic, a former US Open champion, is 3-4 on the hard court in 2026.

The Matchup: Cilic is 2-0 against Tiafoe in their head-to-head series. However, their last meeting took place almost 8 years ago at the 2018 Davis Cup.
