Tiafoe, the World's No. 12, enters this clash with the superior ranking, but only because Zverev has had to spend much of the past year recovering from a serious ankle injury that he suffered in the semi-finals at Roland-Garros 12 months ago. It's been a long road back, but the No. 22 seed has been superb on his return to Paris, where he's yet to drop a set.
On the other side, Tiafoe had a surprisingly shaky outing against Aslan Karatsev in midweek, which was perhaps not the ideal preparation for an opponent he's got precious little joy out of in the past. Zverev leads their head-to-head by 6-1, though they've never played each other on clay before, and the last time they met was in the final of the 2021 Erste Bank Open, when Tiafoe was yet to really establish himself as a genuine force on the circuit.
There's no question about that now, and with both Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev out of the picture, this tie may well decide who becomes top dog on this side of the draw. Here's everything you need to know see Zverev vs Tiafoe online and watch the French Open 2023 from anywhere.

You can also add on the Tennis Channel as part of its Sports Extra package, for an extra $11/month. On the plus side, right now Sling is offering $10 off the first month.
