Tiafoe—Muller. Forecast for the ATP Acapulco match
Tiafoe and Muller will meet in the first round of the tournament in Acapulco on February 26. Muller arrives in good shape. Last week, he reached the finals at a tournament in Rio de Janeiro. Does the French tennis player still have the strength for the tournament in Acapulco? - the bets for this match are in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Frances Tiafoe

Current form
Tiafoe has not reached beyond the second round in any tournament so far in the new season. In early February, Francis played at home competitions in Dallas, where he beat Taro Daniel in the first round, but then lost to Yoshihito Nishioka. The American has three wins and three losses this year.
Professional qualities
Tiafoe is one of the most athletic and explosive tennis players on the modern tour. His game combines a powerful serve, rapid movements around the court and non-standard technical solutions that make his style unpredictable. His forehand attracts special attention — it is fast, with high rotation, capable of piercing the opponent's defense even from difficult positions. Hard drives remain an American's favorite surface, where he maximizes his strengths. However, Francis has weaknesses — his technique leaves much to be desired, and on slower courts he often has difficulty not being able to impose the usual pace of the game on his opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Tiafoe is currently in 18th place in the world ranking. During his career, the American has won ten trophies, including three in the ATP category. He won his last title in 2023 on the grass courts of Stuttgart.
Interesting facts for betting
The last four matches with Tiafoe turned out to be "riding".

Alexandre Muller

Current form
Muller is showing amazing results this season - he has nine wins to his credit this year with only three losses. Last week, Aleksandar managed to reach the finals at a tournament in Rio de Janeiro.
Professional qualities
Muller is a smart and tactically flexible tennis player who builds his game from defense, but knows how to instantly go on the attack at the first opportunity. His main weapon is patience and the ability to wait, working on the back line as long as it takes to force the opponent to make a mistake. At the same time, he is masterful with shortened and cut punches, which allows him to effectively pull opponents, breaking their rhythm and forcing them to constantly rebuild. This style of play makes the Frenchman an extremely uncomfortable opponent for aggressive players, who need to control the course of the draw.
Current indicators in the tour
Muller is currently ranked 60th in the world rankings. This season, the French tennis player has won one trophy - he won the Hong Kong open hard court. For Aleksandar, it was the first TP title of his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Muller has scored seven wins in his last ten matches.

2.22The Tiebreakbetin the match is yes
This bet played out in 3 of Muller's 5 previous matches.
2.33Tip and bets
Muller reached the finals last week on the clay courts of Rio de Janeiro. Getting back on the hard drive is not an easy task. Especially considering that the week in Brazil took a lot out of Aleksandar. We believe that the French tennis player will simply not be one hundred percent ready for the match against Tiafoe.
Our prediction is that Tiafoe will win with a handicap of (-4) games at a coefficient of 2.12
Bet on the total
Muller is probably tired after a busy last week, in which he reached the finals at the clay tournament in Rio de Janeiro. We believe that fatigue will affect Aleksandar's game and he simply will not keep up with Tiafoe's playing rhythm.
The second forecast is a total of less than 22 games for a coefficient of 1.96
Bet on the first set
In three of Muller's last five matches, more than 9.5 games were played in the first set. Most likely, the upcoming meeting against Tiafoe will also start with the "riding" of the first game.
The forecast is a total of more than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 1.89
