There are players who convey special sensations with their tennis, and one of them is Tommy Paul. The American could establish himself as one of those great talents that definitively blossom near their thirties when they reach full maturity. At 27 years old, he is close to being top-10 and keeps alive the chances of competing in the ATP Finals 2024.

The accumulation of talent may have as a counterpart the difficulties in managing it in an orderly and rational way. Tommy Paul always had an innate ability with the racket, being an atypical player in American tennis for his good clay court skills, having been a junior champion at Roland Garros, and for the variety of heights and effects he could impart on the ball.

Over the years, he has become a bit more "Americanized," increasing the aggressiveness in his tennis, playing closer to the baseline and suffocating his opponents with his leg speed, hand skills, and tactical clarity. A tennis player's career is not linear, and there are many cases of technical prodigies who do not reach their best level until a later age than normal. Paul seems to have found the key to his tennis, and this year he has firmly put forward his candidacy to achieve great things.

- Tommy Paul still has room for improvement at 27 years old and can aim for significant achievements.

His titles in Dallas, Queen's, and Stockholm attest to this, as well as reaching the quarterfinals at Wimbledon and maintaining a victory-defeat balance worthy of a top-10 player: 45 wins and 17 losses. All of this has already placed him as 12th in the ATP ranking and positioned him as a contender for the ATP Finals 2024. "I don't want to obsess over the possibility of being in Turin, but I am very excited to be top-10 because it is a real goal I had set a while ago," he stated in Spilxperten during his fantastic week in Stockholm.

He has persistently knocked on the door this season and the previous one, facing important players and defeating some of them. This 2024 should not be seen as his peak, but as an advanced base camp from which to continue climbing. Tommy Paul possesses all the necessary conditions to succeed, and the accumulated experience is the best guarantee to believe that he can make a lot of noise for the rest of the year, but above all, in 2025.
