Dusan Lajovic is through to the second round of the BNP Paribas Open, where he will face off with Alejandro Tabilo. This match will mark the second meeting between the two, with the winner proceeding to face one of Matteo Gigante or Taylor Fritz next. Let’s have a look at the preview and prediction for this match. World number 30 Tabilo advanced to this stage thanks to a first round bye. He will now focus on improving on his torrid start to 2025. The Chilean is playing his seventh of the season but still searching for a first win across clay and hardcourt surfaces. His latest outing was in Santiago, where he lost 2-1 to Federico Coria.

Lahovic is also not enjoying a great start to the year but he can afford to look at his performances with some positivity. After falling to Learner Tien in the Acapulco qualifiers, he started well at Indian Wells. The Serbian is coming off a straight-sets win against Li Tu, dropping just two games in a match that lasted less than one hour. This will prepare him well for a tougher opponent, and three wins in six give him a mental edge going into this game. He will need that boost, as in his last four second round appearances at Indian Wells, he lost.
