Tommy Paul vs Ethan Quinn prediction
Paul will enter the match as the overwhelming favorite to win given his current form. The 27-year-old won 45 out of 62 points (72.6%) on his first serve in his match against Brooksby, serving seven aces while producing four double faults.
Paul has a fine baseline game but his biggest strength is his powerful forehand that helps him dictate points. While the American has a strong defense, he may not need much of it as he will most probably have the upper hand from the start of the match.
Like Tommy Paul, Ethan Quinn also has a pretty solid forehand and will look to make the most out of it. The 20-year-old will be keen to maximize on his service games, having served nine aces in his previous match and winning 33 out of 43 points on his first serve (76.7%). Given Paul's defensive solidity, it will be important for Quinn to produce as flawless a performance as he can to stand a chance of winning.
However, given the way the World No. 9 has looked so far this season, it seems unlikely that he will lose.
Pick: Paul to win in straight sets.
