Tommy Paul is happy this week for different reasons. Happy because he just made his debut with a victory at the ATP 500 in Dallas, where he defeated Jenson Brooksby yesterday. Happy because he just helped his country advance in the Davis Cup, beating Hungary. And happy, why not say it, because this week he won't have to face Carlos Alcaraz, one of his toughest opponents.

He has suffered five consecutive defeats against the Murcian player, the last one at this past Australian Open in the round of 16. Paul was asked about this in his last press conference, to which he responded with good humor: "In Melbourne, he constantly attacked my backhand, although I must admit I allowed him too much time to think, to execute his strategy based on power... Honestly, I'm happy not to have to face him this week in the draw," Tommy said with a laugh.
