We might have reached the final game of the 2024 Cincinnati Open, which means the tournament is almost over. However, this also means that I have a few remaining tennis predictions today to share with you for this particular event. And with the final involving Jannik Sinner and Francis Tiafoe, this game promises to be a blockbuster! 

Our favourite Jannik Sinner vs Frances Tiafoe predictions

What a final we have coming up for the 2024 Cincinnati Open. On the one hand, we have the ultimate professional and world number one, Jannik Sinner. On the other hand, we have a man who has incredible talent and loves to entertain, Frances Tiafoe. 

This will be the fifth meeting between these two, and based on numerous factors, I’m shooting for the following markets this evening:

Tiafoe to win a set – yes @ 10/11 (1.91)

In the four previous meetings between Sinner and Tiafoe, the American has only failed to win a set on one occasion. This already bodes well for Tiafoe to take a set here. And with the home crowd on his side, I believe he has every chance of producing the upset.

Tiafoe +3.5 games handicap @ 10/11 (1.91)

If Francis Tiafoe does go on to take a set in this championship match, I see no reason that he cannot secure a +3.5 games handicap when all is said and done. Of course, the good thing about this market is that it could still produce a return even if Sinner ultimately wins the title.

Jannik Sinner vs Frances Tiafoe odds

Based on the most recent odds for the Cincinnati Open men’s singles final, Sinner has a 77.80% chance of victory, while Tiafoe has just a 28.60% probability.

Tiafoe to take maiden 1000 level title or Sinner for a masterclass in Cincinnati?

Only one of these guys will leave with the crown tonight, and I hope the following previews give further insight into who that might be.

Jannik Sinner preview

As the world number one, it goes without saying that Jannik Sinner is favoured to take the title tonight. However, he had to come through a marathon battle against Zverev in the semi-finals to get here. This may have taken a lot out of him physically. But at the same time, if he finds his range with his groundstrokes, there isn’t much that anyone can do to stop him.

Frances Tiafoe preview

Believe it or not, this is the first time that Tiafoe has made it to the finals of a 1000-level tournament. It’s all the more special that he has achieved this feat on home soil, of course, and he is playing some great tennis in Cincinnati. However, he has only beaten Sinner once in his entire career, so the challenge for him tonight is substantial.

Sinner vs Tiafoe head to head

The head-to-head between these two guys currently stands at 3-1 in favour of Sinner. Then again, he has only ever beaten Tiafoe in straight sets once, so these two tend to have quite close matches.
