Another of Friday's intriguing Roland Garros matches is an all American affair, one between Frances Tiafoe and Sebastian Korda, neither of whom are known for their exploits on European clay courts. For Tiafoe, this is only a second third-round appearance at the French Open, but the explosive player, who is now ranked 16th in the world, may have turned a corner of late. After all, he's picked up two straight-set wins, which means he ought to come into this match full of confidence. Adding to that confidence will be the fact that he beat Korda when the pair previously met on clay.
Clay doesn't exactly bring out the best in Korda, though the man who sits 24th in the ATP Rankings has looked in decent shape this week, beating a decent player in Luciano Darderi, before shifting through the gears to beat fellow American Jenson Brooksby in straight sets. Unfortunately, Korda will have to get over the mental block that seemingly prevents him rising to the challenge of facing top-20 players, whom he has a terrible recent record against.

Our Frances Tiafoe vs Sebastian Korda Prediction
At the end of the day, Tiafoe doesn't exactly do his best work on European clay courts, while Sebastian Korda is far from a clay-court specialist. However, the higher-ranked of the two Americans comes into this match off the back of his best ever start at this tournament, so he may have turned a corner, while in Korda, he's up against a player with a dreadful recent record against top-20 opponents. This is enough for me to conclude that Frances Tiafoe probably should be the narrow favorite here. While he's not, there's value to be had by betting on him to come out on top.
