World number 13 Tommy Paul faces unseeded Alejandro Tabilo in round two of the Cinch Championships in London. The winner goes into the quarter-finals and the seeded opponent is the top seed and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Paul is playing his second grass court tournament of the year. Last week saw him reach the last eight of the Libema Open. His grass court record is impressive with a final reached in Eastbourne last year. His best performance at Wimbledon is getting to round four two years ago. The first round saw the American beat Sebastian Baez in straight sets, both won 6-4.

Alejandro Tabilo is a career-high 24th in the latest ranking list but up to 23rd after his first round victory. In the ATP Live Race, he's up to 14th which is only a place below his opponent. Winning this match will see him go above the American. Tabilo has had a successful year with titles won on both hard courts and clay. On grass, he reached the first round of this tournament three years ago. He was fortunate to do so though as he had to be reinstated as a lucky loser. The past two years have seen him lose in the qualifying rounds but not get reinstated. There was no need to qualify this year and in round one, the Chilean beat Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina in three sets, losing the middle one. We tip Tommy Paul to win this match.
