Command Analysis

Tommy Paul

Current form
Paul has not played a single official match since the Australian Open. Let's remind you that Tommy managed to show a pretty good result at the Australian major. He reached the quarterfinals on the Melbourne courts, where the American lost to Alexander Zverev. Paul has six wins and two losses this year.
Professional qualities
Paul is one of the most technical tennis players on the tour. His command of the racket is impressive, and he prefers to dictate the terms of the game himself, without lingering on the defensive. However, if he has to defend, he is able to keep the ball in play with confidence. His technique deserves special attention - the American is good at this component of the game and often makes breaks.
Current indicators in the tour
Paul is in the top 10 in the world ranking and is in ninth place. The American has won 14 trophies in his career, four of which are in the ATP category. Last season, Tommy won the indore titles in Dallas and Stockholm, and also won the grass events held in London.
Interesting facts for betting
Paul is the winner of last year's tournament in Dallas.

Jenson Brooksby

Current form
Brooksby returns to the game after the doping scandal. The American has played only two matches so far this season. At the Australian Open, he lost to Taylor Fritz in the first round, and in Cleveland last week, Jenson also lost to his compatriot Jeffrey Wolf at the start.
Professional qualities
Before the doping ban, Brooksby was distinguished by his non-standard technique. It's hard to call his forehand a classic, but he made up for it with high variability. The American is able to change the pace of the draws, and is also a high-quality player at the reception, which makes him a dangerous opponent.
Current indicators in the tour
Brooksby was once ranked 33rd in the world rankings, but due to the doping scandal, he is now in 1091st position. During his career, the American has won six trophies. He saw the last of them in the background in 2021 at the dirt challenger in Tallahassee.
Interesting facts for betting
Brooksby played only once in Dallas - in 2022, he reached the final on the local courts.
