Tommy Paul vs Luciano Darderi prediction

Tommy Paul continued his consistent run of form after he beat Andrey Rublev in the first-round of the Vienna Open. Paul, who is the seventh seed at the event, won 7-5 6-2. His recent results have been encouraging, with a quarter-final run in Shanghai backed up by a semi-final appearance at the Lyon Open last week. He will be aiming to progress to the last eight of this event for the first time in his career.

He now faces Luciano Darderi for a place in the quarter-finals. Darderi picked up just his second ever win indoors after beating compatriot Matteo Arnaldi. It was an accomplished performance from the 24-year-old, who also won 7-5 6-2. He did not concede a break point and lost just three points on his first serve throughout the match.

Paul leads the head-to-head 2-1. He has the far better record in these conditions, and I expect him to have too much for Darderi overall.
