Tommy Paul and Learner Tien
Tommy Paul and Learner Tien embrace after their match at Delray Beach
Tommy Paul and Learner Tien both looked below their usual standards in their opening-round victories this week, making it difficult to back either player with complete confidence. 

Both are excellent movers, thrive in extended rallies, and are comfortable grinding through long, physical contests, which points towards a closely fought encounter.

  • Learner Tien is 4–0 in third-round Masters matches. 
  • He has a 5–2 record against fellow Americans. 
  • Tommy Paul is 2–0 in third-round matches at the Canadian Open. 
  • He has a 4–3 record against Top 20 players.

Tien Builds on Fighting Victory

Learner Tien defeated Gael Monfils 6-3, 0-6, 6-3 to reach the third round in Montreal. The American trailed by a break in the deciding set before producing a strong comeback to seal the victory. 

The 20-year-old had not recorded multiple main-draw wins in any of his previous three tournaments. Before that stretch, however, he enjoyed an impressive run of results, reaching five quarterfinal-or-better finishes, including standout performances at the Australian Open and Indian Wells. 

Tien has previously played four third-round matches at Masters 1000 events and has won all four. He will now be looking to extend that perfect record this week.

Paul Continues His Consistent Season

Tommy Paul defeated Valentin Royer 6-4, 7-5 to reach the third round in Montreal. The American survived a scare in the second-set tiebreak after trailing 1-5 before raising his level to complete the victory in straight sets. 

Paul has reached the third round at the Canadian Open twice before and converted both appearances into quarterfinal runs, including a semifinal finish in Toronto in 2023. 

The American has enjoyed another outstanding season, reaching four ATP Tour finals, while also making the third round at both the French Open and Wimbledon and the fourth round at the Australian Open.
