TommyPaul

When Tommy Paul is the opponent, the first job is to avoid letting him dictate with the forehand and to stop him stepping in on second serves. He is right-handed, uses a two-handed backhand, and at 1.85 m can cover the court without giving up line drives. Brad Stine and Hugo Armando prepare him, so expect a clear plan rather than improvised tennis.

Paul is currently ranked No. 21 in singles, with a career high of No. 8. Five tour-level singles titles back up that level, and he has never won a major. He turned professional in 2015, so the challenge for opponents is sustaining depth against a player who has been building this game for over a decade.
