Frances Tiafoe left no doubts in Round 1 against up-and-comer Elmer Moller. The American needed just one hour and 47 minutes to dispatch the Dane, setting up an intriguing second-round matchup against Cam Norrie.

Norrie’s game has trended in the wrong direction over the last two seasons, but he looked to regain his form at the French Open last month.

Norrie took care of business against Roberto Bautista-Agut in Round 1, winning in four sets as a slight favorite, but now he will need to raise his level to get past Tiafoe.

You can set your watch to Tiafoe. The Maryland native consistently underwhelms during the weeks leading up to Grand Slams, but he always seems to find his game just as the lights come on at the majors.

Tiafoe is a two-time semifinalist at the US Open, and he’s made three other trips to the quarterfinals at Grand Slams. The 27-year-old hasn’t had a crowning moment at Wimbledon yet, but his all-court game should translate well onto the grass, and there is no question about his motor.

That last point is key against Norrie, who may not have an elite weapon to rely on, but his tireless work ethic and all-world endurance make him a tricky opponent in best-of-5 tennis.

Against aggressive opponents, Norrie can be patient and try to drag his opponents to the deep end of the pool, but that may not be the case against Tiafoe, who has proven to be a relentless opponent in his own right.

This is a fun stylistic matchup. Norrie is a terrific counter-puncher, and he will have the crowd behind him as a Brit, but his weaponry is not up to Tiafoe’s standards.

Tiafoe should be able to get this over the line without too much fuss.
