After the first day at the ATP Den Bosch Open featured just one completed match due to rain, the organisers will be hoping for clearer skies on day two in the Netherlands. Several first-round matches are not yet set, but there should still be some entertaining grass-court tennis for the fans. But who will book their place in the second round?<\/p>\n
Head-to-head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n Tommy Paul has played just three grass0court matches at all levels so far in his professional career. He won one Challenger match, so at least there\u2019s that. Nakashima has barely more experience, but managed two wins in a Challenger last week before falling to grass maven Andy Murray, who has two Wimbledon titles under his belt. Paul is the better player overall, though Nakashima is slowly plodding his way up the ranks, still very young at 20 years old. And Paul is having a better season by a little. But how much does that mean on an unfamiliar surface? I\u2019ll go with Nakashima\u2019s recent grass warmup as the decider.<\/p>\n Prediction: Nakashima in 3
