This isn't quite the final of the Cinch Championships that we were expecting to see. Fifth seed Tommy Paul takes on unseeded Lorenzo Musetti in the final of this grass court tournament at Queen's Club, London. Paul is the world number 13 and 11th in the ATP Live Race. The American will remain in those positions regardless of the result of this match. Paul has made a confident start to this year's grass court season. Last week he got to the last eight of the Libema Open and has again gone well in London. He's had wins over Sebastian Baez, Alejandro Tabilo (both in straight sets) and then Jack Draper in three. Saturday's semi-final produced a straight sets win over fellow American Sebastian Korda.

Lorenzo Musetti was ranked 30th at the start of this tournament. His run to the final has taken him up to 25th but that's still ten places below the career-high he achieved last year. The 22-year-old is in his third ATP Tour final but his first on grass. He's struggled in the past on this surface and his first two appearances at Wimbledon both ended in first round losses. He had a better result last year though, reaching the third round. 2023 also saw him get to the last eight in both Stuttgart and this tournament.  He played in Stuttgart last week and reached the semi-finals. Round one of this event saw him defeat second seed Alex de Minaur in three sets. He's since beaten Brandon Nakashima (in three sets),  Billy Harris (without dropping a set) and then another three-set win over Jordan Thompson, losing the middle one.  Paul is in good form and we take him to win this final.
