Prediction published on 06/06/2023, 03:02  by Kennedy Kechula in Tennis Predictions

World number 140 Liam Broady and the alternate Gabriel Diallo will on Tuesday meet in the first round at the Surbiton Trophy. Liam Broady starts here after his elimination in the qualifiers at the French Open. He is making his season debut on grass with this tournament and arrives with a record of 21 wins and 10 losses. The Brit has largely struggled on grass but having defeated Diallo already this season, he can be optimistic here. The two battled in the quarterfinals at the Biel Challenger where Broady won 2-1 on his way to the final. Broady has dropped down 10 places to 150th in the live ranking, this is after he lost 36 ranking points.

Gabriel Diallo is set to make his career debut on grass with this match. The 21-year-old has been active since 2018 and has fancied playing on hard courts. He also made his career debut on clay this season. The Canadian arrives here after also being eliminated at Roland Garros in the qualifying rounds. He has alternated across all three levels but has mostly participated in the challenger circuit. Diallo has a record of 19 wins and 13 losses and is currently on a two-match losing run. He has nonetheless moved up three places to 143rd in the live ranking which is a new career high for him. Diallo had a strong start to the last encounter with Broady where he stole the first set. The winner will next play either top seed Daniel Evans or lucky loser James McCabe.
