Valentin Royer vs Tommy Paul prediction
Valentin Royer fought back to take down Pablo Careno Busta and earn a shot at 17th seed Tommy Paul.
The Frenchman looked down and out after a humbling opening stanza but nicked a tight second set before romping through to claim a 6-1 5-7 6-2 victory.
The world number 78 will now face the American for the first time with Paul very much a force in 2026 having already reached four tour-level finals.
Royer can be an awkward customer but Paul has too much variety and equal firepower in this match-up.
