Tommy Paul vs Corentin Moutet preview

Paul from the USA and Moutet from France will lock horns in the third round of the 2024 Paris Olympics men's singles event on Wednesday, July 31.
Paul defeated the Czech Republic's Jakub Mensik in the second round days after bettering Italy's Luciano Darderi in the first. His battle against Darderi lasted for an hour and 26 minutes and it saw him create a total of 12 break point opportunities and convert three to secure a 6-3, 6-4 win.
Paul found Mensik's challenge in the second round easier as he trumped the Czech 6-3, 6-1 in an hour and 11 minutes on the back of five aces, four break points, and 22 winners.
Moutet's journey at the home tournament witnessed a shaky start as he found a tough opponent in India's Sumit Nagal. The Frenchman secured the first set comfortably but Nagal fought back to claim the second. The decider went down to the wire as the two players remained on serve for ten games before Moutet broke Nagal's serve and eventually won the match 6-2, 2-6, 7-5.
In the second round, Moutet received a walkover against Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff.

Paul maintains a win-loss record of 33-11 overall and 9-3 on clay for the 2024 season thus far, whereas Moutet holds a win-loss record of 23-14 on the surface. Notably, the Frenchman has played only two matches on a surface other than dirt this season.
Also, Moutet's struggle against India's Sumit Nagal in the opening round exposed the consistency in his game as he committed a staggering 49 unforced errors and five double faults
On the other hand, Paul has produced disciplined tennis comparatively at the 2024 Paris Olympics thus far as he committed only 11 unforced errors against Mensik and 20 against Darderi, keeping the unforced errors tally far below Moutet's. Hence, the American is likely to come good against the Frenchman if he continues with his level.
Pick: Tommy Paul to win in straight sets.
