American tennis star Tommy Paul beat Marcos Giron to win the Dallas Open 2024. Currently ranked 15th in the world, Paul won his first ATP title in 2021 at Stockholm, and this is his second career title. Though, Paul performed quite well last year as he reached the finals of a couple of tournaments in Acapulco and Eastbourne but couldn’t capitalize in the finals.

In an interview with the Dallas Press, Paul was asked about his career goals for 2024. He revealed:

 I think we’re all pretty aware of our rankings and where we sit in the American race. But I don’t like…, all of our goals are to win tournaments and get in the Top 10 or get in the Top 5 or win big tournaments. I mean that’s the goal for me. I’m not speaking for everybody. But for me, the goal is not to be ahead of Ben, or not to be ahead of Tiafoe. It’s to be at the top of the game, be up there playing those guys in the finals of the biggest tournaments. That’s the biggest thing for me.
