THE LOWDOWN
26-year-old Cameron Norrie is looking at a new career-high ATP world ranking no mater the outcome of this round of 16 clash with Tommy Paul after a brilliant three-set victory over 15th seed Roberto Bautista Agut. Norrie has reached five ATP finals this season in his breakthrough year on tour and won one of them at the Los Cabos Open in fairly similar conditions to these. World number 60 Tommy Paul is getting closer to breaking his career-high ranking of 50th after an excellent campaign at Indian Wells. The 24-year-old claimed the biggest win of his career on Monday night with a three-set victory over world number five Andrey Rublev, backed by an enthusiastic home crowd.
THE PREDICTION
Tommy Paul and Cam Norrie shared three sets earlier this season at the Murray River Open in Melbourne where the American fought back from a set down to win. Norrie’s form has exploded since then, with an incredible 14 wins over top 30 opponents this season including Bautista Agut on Monday night. However, Paul’s campaign has been vastly impressive so far and a likely partisan crowd should be able to help him through some key moments. The American’s momentum will be tough to stop but Cam Norrie is out-thinking his opponents right now and that makes backing him to win at least a set, and leaving the winner up to chance, the most reasonable option here.
