Tennis star Tommy Paul defeated Cristian Garin in Round 16 of the ATP Houston to storm into the quarterfinals of the prestigious tournament. The 27-year-old won the epic thriller with a scoreline of 2-6, 6-2, 7-6(5). The American sensation is now set to face star player Colton Smith, who is already in top form. The two players will be looking to fight for the semi-final spot in this game.
The American star didn't have a great start to the game, having lost the opening set easily to give Garin a great lead. However, Paul hits outrageous hits and exhausting points that baffle Garin and allow him to level up the game. The top-seeded player continued his dominance heading to the third and final set and stormed to the last eight rounds of the ongoing ATP 250 tournament.

Tommy Paul's struggling run in the Miami Open and Indian Wells 2025!
Tommy Paul seems to be one of the strong contenders to win the title here. The star player was last seen in action in the recently concluded Miami Open 2025. The American sensation failed to mark his impact in the ATP 1000 Masters as he crashed out in the third round after suffering a crushing defeat against Francisco Cerundolo. Earlier, Russian Daniil Medvedev defeated him in the fourth round of the Indian Wells 2025. Despite that, Paul has a great chance to win the title here.
