Top seed Tommy Paul will meet qualifier Colton Smith in the Houston Open quarter-finals. This marks the first meeting between them, with the winner set to face Jenson Brooksby or Aleksandar Kovacevic. Below is our prediction for this match.
After getting a first round bye, Paul saw off Cristian Garin in straight sets. Now the world number 13 is slated to take on a player ranked 200.
With six wins in his last 10 matches, Paul will view this game as a means to get his stability back. The American has compiled a 14-5 record and has twice advanced from quarter-finals this season.
This is the furthest Paul has reached in five appearances at Houston.
Smith is having a good season, having compiled a 14-3 run so far. He will be looking to pull a major upset here by eliminating the top seed.
The biggest impediment for the 22-year-old would be his relative lack of experience. He is making his debut at Houston but has done well so far, having started from the qualification rounds.
Smith has four wins in his first ever four clay court matches. In his latest outing he beat Ethan Quinn in straight sets to get to his third quarter-final of the season but first on the tour.
Against Paul, he may have to dig deeper, and having spent over two hours more on the court could cost him.
