Top seeded Cameron Norrie takes on the unseeded American Maxime Cressy. This is a quarter final in the Eastbourne International and Norrie is chasing his second title of the year after winning on clay in Lyon. He's yet to win a grass court tournament but did get to the final at Queen's Club last year. Norrie has never made it past the third round at Wimbledon. He's world ranked 12th but due to the ban will be seeded in the top ten. Last week saw him lose in the last 32 at Queen's Club to Grigor Dimitrov. This is his second quarter final at Eastbourne, the other being four years ago. This week has seen him beat unseeded Brandon Nakashima for the loss of six games.

Maxime Cressy began this week ranked 60th in the world. This is his third grass court tournament of the year, the other two both being in Germany. He lost in the last 32 in Stuttgart to Dominic Stricker, who was ranked 200th at the time. That was followed by another loss in the last 32 in Halle this time, being beaten by Hubert Hurkacz. This year began well for Cressy with a final in Melbourne where he lost to Rafael Nadal. A quarter final in Sydney and last 16 in the Australian Open followed. Aside from that good form in Australia, it's been a disappointment year. This week has gone well though with wins over fifth seeded Reilly Opelka and Dan Evans. Norrie looks tougher and he can be backed to win this.
