Tommy Paul vs Sebastian Baez preview

The first round of the 2024 Queen’s Club championships will have Tommy Paul take on Sebastian Baez in an exciting encounter on Monday.

Paul, the fifth seed, made a quarterfinal exit in his first grasscourt tournament at 's-Hertogenbosch. He had beaten Alexei Popyrin before going down against Sebastian Korda.

Paul's 21-9 win loss, however, holds him in good stead coming into the tournament. He already has a title in Dallas and another final appearance at the Delray Beach Open.

Baez is playing in his first grasscourt tournament of the season.

Baez, meanwhile, will be playing in his first grasscourt tournament of the season at the Queen’s Club.

The Argentine, much like Paul, has enjoyed a successful season. He has put together a solid 23-11 win-loss, which includes two Tour-level titles at the Chile Open and Rio Open. He finds himself sitting at a career-high world ranking of No. 19. Needless to say, he will be feeling good about his prospects.

Tommy Paul vs Sebastian Baez prediction

Paul will be the favorite to win on paper.

Tommy Paul’s well-rounded game works well on the grass. His big serve, powerful groundstrokes and willingness to come forward puts him at an advantage in most match-ups.

Sebastian Baez, on the other hand, relies on his baseline prowess and agility to win points. Most of his success has come on the slower clay courts.

This match-up will pit Paul’s aggression against his opponent’s counterpunching. The conditions are better suited for the American’s proactive approach as evidenced by their last meeting.

Baez can cause a few troubles for his opponent, but if Paul can keep a check on his error count, he should be able to come out on top.

Pick: Tommy Paul to win in three sets.
