Tommy Paul vs Pedro Martinez prediction

Paul has both baseline prowess and effective net play that helps him play good tennis on all surfaces. The American No. 1 also has very good footwork that helps him in baseline rallies and helps him maintain his pace with the opponent. His forehand is the most potent weapon in his arsenal.

Martinez is a specialist clay-court player. All three career finals that the Spaniard has reached are on the clay. He has never been very successful at Wimbledon as he has reached the main draw only twice. 3R in 2021 remains his best performance at the event so far.

Given Paul's form, especially on grass, and his all-court game, the American has an undisputed advantage in this encounter. Combine that with Martinez's struggles in 2024, and we could well see a comprehensive victory for the World No. 12.

Pick- Tommy Paul to win in straight sets
