Learner Tien is the third seed in the US Clay Court Championships in Houston. That high seeding is not due to his form on this surface though. He takes on wild card Nishesh Basavareddy in round two. Read our match prediction below.
Tien was 22nd in the last published ranking list, one place below his career-high. The 20-year-old (as is his opponent) has won ten of his 16 matches this year with a semi-final and two last eight appearances, but all on hard courts.
Last year saw him lose in the first round of this tournament, his only previous appearance in Houston. Only three of his ten clay court matches were won last year with the last three all being lost.
He leads Basavareddy 4-0 in previous meetings but this is their first clay court match.
Nishesh Basavareddy also had a 3-7 clay court record in 2025. The American has failed to get past round two of an ATP Tour event this year. This is his first clay court tournament of 2025 and in round one he beat Liam Draxl but needed three sets.
Basavareddy is 180th in the live rankings. He had lost three successive clay court matches before his win over Draxl.
We tip more than 21.5 games to be played in this match.
