Preview and players comparison.
Yannick Maden comfortably dispatched Salvatore Caruso and later secured a hard-fought win over Nobert Gombos to get into this main draw of ATP Antwerp. He made his ATP Antwerp debut in 2016 as a qualifier but could win only five games against Gilles Simon in the first round. The 29-year-old German had registered only two main draw wins on the main tour so far in 2019, and both of those wins came in indoor hardcourt events in Sofia and Metz, where he entered the main draw as a qualifier and defeated Adrian Mannarino and Ugo Humbert, respectively.
While Yannick Maden has won an impressive 26 matches on indoor hardcourt so far in 2019, Frances Tiafoe will step on the surface only for the second time this season. He previously competed in New York in February, where he suffered an upset at the hands of Jason Jung in the opening round. The American youngster is currently on a three-match losing run on tour, and he could not win a set in the recent two matches in Beijing and Shanghai Masters. Tiafoe has posted few notable results on tour such as the quarterfinal at the Australian Open and Miami Open but has also suffered 12 opening-round defeats on the main tour so far in 2019.
Frances Tiafoe reached the round of 16 in Antwerp during his debut campaign in 2017 but couldn’t clear the first round hurdle during his recent visit in 2018, 4-6 6-7 against Feliciano Lopez in the first round. Superior ability and experience at this level make Frances Tiafoe the favorite, but he needs to be at the top of his game as the German is a dangerous player, and his best tennis is capable of winning this matchup, especially on indoor hardcourt.
