Two-time US Open semifinalist Frances Tiafoe will try to advance into the next round of the 2024 Shanghai Masters as he slugs it out with Roman Safiullin of Russia on Tuesday. Tiafoe barged into the third round after cruising to a 6-2, 6-4 win over Yi Zhou of China on Sunday. The 17th-ranked American asserted his dominance over his Chinese foe by winning 89 percent of his first serves and converting 3 out of 4 breakpoints. Meanwhile, Safiullin posted his second consecutive victory over a player from Kazakhstan as he downed Alexander Bublik 6-4 6-2. Safiullin won 77 percent of his first serves while firing seven aces to eliminate Bublik from the tournament. The Russian also booted out Beibit Zhukayev of Kazakhstan 7-6(0) 6-4 in the first round.

Our Frances Tiafoe vs Roman Safiullin Prediction

Tiafoe has a 21-12 record on the hard court this year with a 3-2 slate in third-round matches. Safiullin is 2-6 against top-20 players this season and just 17-13 in hard-court matches. The Russian back-to-back wins over Kazakh opponents are impressive but I still like Tiafoe in this match. The American is determined to erase the memory of a first-round setback against Brandon Nakashima at the Japan Open, and the only way to do that is to stage another deep run in this ATP 1000 event. Our betting prediction for Frances Tiafoe vs. Roman Safiullin: Tiafoe will win 2-0, +160, at FanDuel.
