Trending
Before last week's Las Vegas Open, World No. 187 Hassan had dropped seven of his previous nine matches at the ATP Challenger. tour qualifying, and Davis Cup level. However, the Lebanese is back in form if his semifinal result in Las Vegas is anything to go by.
Having received top seeding in Fairfield this week, the 30-year-old beat Belgium's Tibo Colson 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 in his tournament opener in one hour and 36 minutes to advance to the second round. His next opponent at the 50-level event will be World No. 396 Ilagan, who also reached the last-four in Las Vegas.
The American turned pro in 2023 after his college tennis stint with the University of Hawaii. Since then, the 24-year-old has achieved a career-high ATP singles ranking of 356 and recorded three tournaments where he made it to at least the quarterfinals. Earlier on Tuesday, he overcame USA's Kaylun Bigun 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the first round of this week's Fairfield Challenger.

Andre Ilagan vs Benjamin Hassan prediction
Hassan and Ilagan are both making their debut in Fairfield, which has organized its ATP 50 Challenger tournament annually since 2015. Hassan, who is 0-3 in Challenger-level finals, is a physically strong player with an adept forehand and a well-disguised drop shot. He also likes employing finesse during rallies to surprise his opponents.
That said, Ilagan is likely to be on his toes and chase down every ball that drops in his end of the court. The American also has a lefty advantage, which he can use to pull his higher-ranked opponent wide to the backhand side. A second-round upset could very well be on the cards on Wednesday if the Lebanese top seed isn't tactically wary.
Pick: Ilagan to win in three sets.
