Tiafoe Perfect So Far
Frances Tiafoe heads into the final with a perfect 5-0 record in the United Cup so far. Four of those wins came in singles, while one of them was in the mixed doubles against Germany, when he paired with Jessica Pegula to beat Daniel Altmaier and Laura Siegemund in three.
The World no. 19 has dropped just one set in his four singles matches in the tournament.
In his first match against the Czech Republic, he took the first set against Tomas Machac, but was trailing 2-4 in the second when the Czech player was forced to retire. After being tested in the first match, Tiafoe upped his game against Germany, beating Oscar Otte 7-5, 6-4.
In the host city finals against Great Britain in Sydney, Tiafoe took the court with USA 2-1 up. While both the women had won their matches, Taylor Fritz had lost his. So the pressure was immense on Tiafoe and he found himself under more pressure after Daniel Evans took the first set in the contest. But the American rebounded for a 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory.
The win was followed by a commanding 6-3, 6-3 victory over Kacper Żuk as Team USA beat Poland 5-0.
Tiafoe, who is coming off a a very good 36-25 season in 2022, will be looking to keep his perfect record intact in the final.

Musetti 4-0 in Singles
Facing Tiafoe will be Lorenzo Musetti, who, too, has a perfect record in singles.
Musetti started off with a 6-3, 6-4 drubbing of Felipe Meligeni Alves of Brazil as Italy edged out the South American side 3-2.
The 23-year-old then won his singles rubber against Viktor Durasovic of Norway in straight sets and also combined with Camilla Rosatello to win the mixed doubles match in the tie to give Italy a 5-0 victory.
Italy lost the host city finals in Brisbane to Poland, with Musetti having a mixed performance. He trounced Daniel Michalski 6-1, 6-1, but couldn’t win the deciding mixed doubles match. However, Italy still qualified for the semifinals and once again it was Musetti who scored a quick 6-1, 6-1 victory over Stefanos Sakellaridis. They gave the Italians a 2-0 lead and despite Berettini’s defeat in the third match, Italy sailed into the final.
Can Musetti keep his form going in the final?
Tiafoe v Musetti Prediction and Tip
