Cameron Norrie vs Frances Tiafoe Tips, Predictions and Bet Builder

It’s two wins apiece in the personal series between Cameron Norrie and Frances Tiafoe.

British tennis fans and punters will be hoping Johannesburg-born Monaco resident Norrie does the business, but there are definite question marks about whether the Briton is playing well enough to see off an opponent as consistent as Tiafoe.

The Maryland native has reached the semi-finals of the US Open in two of the last three years and that stat alone tells you that Tiafoe is generally underrated by the oddsmakers, although he still finds one or two to beat him in the Slams.

Key Match Stats

• Cameron Norrie has achieved a higher singles ranking than Frances Tiafoe - eighth in the world compared to tenth - but that came after the Briton won his biggest title at the Indian Wells Masters.

• Prior to Wimbledon, Cameron Norrie had lost both of his prep matches, one at the Queen’s Club and the other at Eastbourne last week.

• Since reaching the quarter-finals of the French Open, Frances Tiafoe has taken it easier on grass with only one outing before Wimbledon, a first-round loss at Queen’s to Dan Evans.

Cameron Norrie vs Frances Tiafoe Prediction

Best Bet: Frances Tiafoe to win @ 4/7 

There’s little doubt that the Norrie of old could have posed big problems for Tiafoe, but the Briton’s levels have slipped in recent seasons and he may find it tough on his return to the limelight in their second-round clash.

Norrie has been a shadow of the player who won the Indian Wells Masters in 2021, but while that was a huge achievement, it was a period of transition between the Djokovic-Nadal-Federer-Murray domination and the Sinner-Alcaraz era and the Californian event would have taken a little less winning four years ago.

Tiafoe is not quite top-class himself, either, but he’s more consistently just below that echelon. The question is whether or not that will count on grass on Wednesday, but Norrie’s recent travails have to be a concern for punters.

Tiafoe won his Wimbledon opener in straight sets against little-known Dane Elmer Moller. He may do well to inflict a three-set win on Norrie, but the Brit is far from sure to help extend the clash to a fifth set.

Norrie, for his part, did pretty well to deny veteran Roberto Bautista Agut in four sets in his curtain-raiser. The seasoned Spaniard had been in reasonably good nick himself, but the older players have been finding it tough going in the first two days of Wimbledon in the blazing heat.

Adrian Humphries explains:

Norrie’s great title triumph came in Indian Wells in 2021, but looking back at the tournament he beat little in his run to the title.

Cameron Norris vs Frances Tiafoe Bet Builder Tip

• Frances Tiafoe to win

• Over 0.5 tiebreaks

• Match to not last for five sets

  Pays 11/4

This encounter is potentially close, but it may not last for five sets - Tiafoe, who has been tipped to prevail against Norrie, may see to that.

However, while it’s impossible to rule out the American posting a second three-set win in as many outings, it would not be a surprise to see Norrie, who is still a pretty solid server, take at least one set to a tie-break conclusion.

Adrian Humphries adds:

Norrie has been struggling with his game in general, but his serving still remains pretty solid and trustworthy and that could help him to lengthen at least one set to a tie-break decision.

Tactics and Form

Given Norrie’s form doubts, there’s a feeling that Tiafoe may have to underperform pretty badly to lose this, but that’s reflected in the odds available.

Norrie is likely to rely on his big serve for some easy points in the heat - the temperatures are due to drop eight degrees or so from Tuesday to Wednesday - but Tiafoe should feel confident of winning a high proportion of the rallies.
