Tommy Paul and Tomas Machac are set for a thrilling match in the round of 16 at the Shanghai Masters on October 9, 2024. The match will take place at the Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena on an outdoor hard court. Fans can catch the match on Sky Sports Tennis in the UK and Tennis Channel in the US.
This match is a rematch of their recent face off in Tokyo, where Machac made a comeback after losing the first set. That victory has boosted his confidence for this upcoming match.
Tommy Paul is in a good mood after achieving a dramatic win against Alejandro Tabilo. After losing the first set and trailing 5-1 in the second, he saved five match points and won the match with a score of 6-7(2), 7-6(6), 6-2. This comeback has boosted his confidence, and he aims to carry this momentum into his next match.
Tomas Machac has also performed well, overcoming a tough start against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. He later won four sets in a row, defeating Aleksandar Vukic. Machac is looking to build on this strong performance to make a deep run in the tournament.
The two players have faced each other before, with Machac having won that encounter, giving him a slight edge. However, Paul’s recent comeback could level the playing field. Their playing styles are different, with Paul being more aggressive while Machac adopts a more strategic approach.
With other American players like Frances Tiafoe exiting early, there’s added pressure on Paul to represent the U.S. in this high-stakes tournament.
This matchup promises to be exciting, as both players are eager to secure a spot in the quarter-finals. Don’t miss the chance to watch it!
