In the confrontation with the Spaniard, Tommy served eight aces, converted seven break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. Earlier in the tournament, the American beat Roberto Carballes-Baena, Kei Nishikori and Christopher O'Connell.

Paul is a versatile tennis player with a minimum of weaknesses. He feels equally confident on any surface, demonstrating stability and tactical literacy. Excellent movement on the baseline allows him not only to maintain the game, but also to calculate the opponent actions several steps ahead. Although his backhand sometimes fails, Tommy compensates for this due to high mobility and reliable forehand play.
