Paul won quite comfortably in the first two sets, dropping just one game throughout. However, the tides turned a bit in the third set, where a single break of serve worked in Davidovich Fokina’s favor. The 26-year-old broke to gain a 4-1 lead in the fourth set. He held onto that lead and went on to win the match 6-1, 6-0, 3-6,6-3. This is the first time he has reached the fourth round of the US Open.

Shelton advanced to the third round with a four-set victory against Pedro Cachin and a mid-match retirement from Dominic Thiem. He faced Aslan Karatsev. The two were equally matched but Shelton took the lead. He raised his game and easily won the match. He won the third set by winning four straight games and the fourth set by not losing a single point to win 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 6-0.

The American duo will face each other for the second time. Paul won their first encounter at the 2023 Australian Open in four sets. Shelton has a very powerful serve and has won 86% of his first serve points. Both have very similar styles of play, with big serving and a strong baseline. However, Paul looks more in form and has more experience than his compatriot. The 26-year-old also has the advantage of having won against Shelton before. Therefore, Paul could be the ultimate winner of this match.

Match Prediction: Tommy Paul to win in four sets
