Day 7 of the Dallas Open will commence on Friday, and in our featured match, we will see J.J. Wolf take on Frances Tiafoe in what should be an entertaining quarter-final at the Styslinger Altec Tennis Complex. After a decent showing in the Australian Open, Wolf saw his overall world ranking improve from 67th to 43rd ahead of this tournament. He managed to reach the Round of 16 of the Australian Open before falling to Ben Shelton in a five-match thriller (6-7, 6-2, 6-7, 7-6, 6-2). In this tournament, Wolf saw off Brandon Holt in the Round of 32 and then followed it up with another strong display against Radu Albot, beating him in straight sets (6-3, 7-6), which extended his record in 2023 to six wins and two losses in eight matches. He now comes up against an opponent that is the second favorite to win this tournament and will need to be at his sparking best if he is to proceed to the semi-final of this competition.

Frances Tiafoe got 2023 off to the best possible start by winning the United Cup in early January, overcoming the likes of Daniel Evans and Kacper Zuk before meeting Lorenzo Musetti in the final of that competition. While Tiafor did emerge victorious, the match was cut short as Musetti called it quits before the end, retiring hurt after losing the first set 6-2. Tiafoe followed that up with a fair showing in the Australian Open, where he overcame Daniel Altaier and Juncheng Shang before losing in the Round of 32 to Karen Khachanov. With a record of 7 wins and two losses this year, Tiafoe ‘s overall rank has improved from 19th to 14th, making him the favourite going into this encounter. Tiafoe overcame Mackenzie Macdonald in the last round, defeating his fellow American in straight sets (6-1, 6-3), and will fancy himself to proceed to his second semi-final in as many months in this one.
