Frances Tiafoe will face Grigor Dimitrov. US Open We have Tiafoe Dimitrov predictions, odds and picks in our Odds Series. Find out how to watch Tiafoe Dimitrov.

What a great opportunity this is for Frances Tiafoe and Grigor Dimitrov. Usually, one of these two – if they ever reach the second week of a major tournament (round of 16 or beyond) – faces Novak Djokovic or someone from the younger generation of male tennis stars. Dimitrov reached the quarterfinals of the French Open earlier this year and was scheduled to play Jannik Sinner, who easily beat him in Paris. Frances Tiafoe faces Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon. He fought bravely but still lost.

At this US Open, there is no Djokovic or Alcaraz. Tiafoe and Dimitrov are playing each other for a spot in Friday’s semifinals – none of the giants of men’s tennis. One of these two will play for the first Major final of his career on Friday. Neither man has ever gotten this far. At least one will have a chance to make his way to the final and make history … and get a huge check as well as a lot of ranking points. This is a career-shaping match. The winner will get a chance to play a career-defining match in the semifinals. It will be interesting to see which man handles the pressure of this moment better. The awareness of the importance of the match will test each player to focus on executing the game plan and hitting the ball straight. Thinking too much about the importance of the contest is a great way for players to perform poorly and without clarity. When the match comes, Tiafoe and Dimitrov will have to handle the pressure and maintain solid technique that doesn’t break down in moments of tension. This has been a challenge for both players throughout their careers. Are we going to see a match in which one player advances while the other shrinks, or will this be a match in which the two players are equally good at handling their nerves?

Why will Frances Tiafoe win?

Tiafoe will have the support of the New York crowd. He is a fan favorite, having beaten American Ben Shelton in a loose but interesting third round match before beating Alexei Popyrin in the fourth round. Tiafoe has endured a lot of pressure in this tournament, so in moments of stress and anxiety, he will rely on himself to hit the right shots and execute his game plan.

The fact that Tiafoe has reached the US Open semifinals (2022) in the past will help him deal with this situation. Meanwhile, Dimitrov’s long track record of falling short in majors will give Tiafoe extra confidence that he can beat his typical opponent.

Why will Grigor Dimitrov win?

Dimitrov defeated a higher ranked player, Andrey Rublev, in the fourth round. This was a tougher match and a bigger test for Dimitrov than Tiafoe, who played Alexei Popyrin in the fourth round. Tiafoe is only here because Popyrin stunned Novak Djokovic in the third round and then performed worse than expected in the next round. Dimitrov is the better player and his battle with Rublev could serve as ideal preparation before this match.
