THE PREDICTION
World number 31 Tommy Paul looks set to be seeded at the US Open later this month as reward for recent hard work on tour, with a straight-sets victory over Jenson Brooksby no longer a surprising sort of result for the 25-year-old. Paul has found some incredible form over the summer but his star has been rising ever since the later fee weeks of last season, in which eh claimed a first ATP title at the expense of the defending champion Denis Shapovalov at the Stockholm Open. The American made it 2-0 in their head-to-head record this summer at Queen’s in another three-set battle and similar fare looks on here after Shapovalov grabbed a much-needed win on Tuesday over Grigor Dimitrov. The 23-year-old snapped a three-match losing streak with that result in what has been yet another confounding season of occasional deep runs and long streaks of poor form but he should be better for a top 30 victory and itching to build upon it.
Paul beat Carlos Alcaraz in Montreal last week for a career-best ranking win and backing him to edge this outright seems a reasonable risk, even though Shapovalov is well capable of suddenly bursting into top gear. Never include the enigmatic Canadian’s matches in any promising accumulators.
