No.1 seed Tommy Paul will try to punch his ticket to the quarterfinal against Cristian Garin of Chile in Wednesday's second-round clash at the 2025 US Men’s Clay Court Championship.
Paul, the top seed in this year’s tournament in Houston, is set to play his first match against a feisty Chilean foe in Cristian Garin. 13-5 in the 2025 ATP season, Paul has failed to reach the quarterfinal of the past three tournaments he competed. During this year’s Sunshine Double, the American only reached the round of 16 at the Indian Wells Open and round of 32 at the Miami Open.
Meanwhile, Garin has won four of his last five matches, including a 6-3 6-4 victory over Alexander Ritschard of Switzerland in the first round of this tourney. The Chilean is 11-8 this season as he spent the first three months of 2025 hunting for ranking points in both challenger and ATP main tour events.
