Tommy Paul will on Wednesday begin his Eastbourne International campaign with a second-round battle against unseeded Sebastian Baez. Baez started the week ranked 44th in the live ranking. To advance to this match with Paul, the Argentine defeated Nuno Borges in straight sets in the first round. The match marked his debut on grass for the season and he will seek to maintain this perfect start. Baez is having a rocky season and has only managed two more wins than matches he has lost. He has played six total matches on grass in his career and has his record split right down the middle.

Tommy Paul has played more regularly on grass than Baez and since 2016, has won 16 of his 27 matches on the surface. Three of those wins have come this season in the five matches he has played to begin his grass-court campaign. Before arriving in Eastbourne, Paul competed at Queen’s Club where he was eliminated in the quarterfinals. The American has been in decent form in 2023 and has so far managed a record of 23 wins and 14 losses. Though he hasn’t won a title yet, he has played in two finals and also made the semifinals in Melbourne. Paul is currently ranked 17th in the live ranking. A quarterfinal showdown with either the unseeded J.J Wolf or the qualifier Luca Van Assche awaits the winner.
