This week kicks off a great next few months of ATP Tour action. Let’s get into the best players to bet on at this week’s Florida Open!
Players to Watch For
Making Strides Towards the top 10 - Tommy Paul
TP or Tommy Paul has had a great start to the 2023 campaign.
The New Balance athlete has made insane strides in his game and now finds himself in a top twenty-five position.
A run to the Aussie semifinals catalyzed some much-needed ranking points which have propelled TP to the elite heights of the sport.
A former boys French Open winner, Tommy Paul has the game and talent to beat the best of them.
Ever since his young start, the potential was always there.
It has taken some time for TP to get out of the sheets and kick up, but fans now realize he is a serious threat in the men’s game.
He will be feeling at home with these US fans and will look to take action.
Young but Dangerous, already - Ben Shelton
Ben Shelton is one of the stars to keep your eyes out for.
His first time out of the United States was the 2023 AO, and he steamrolled his way into the QF’s.
A Florida gator by heart, this might be Ben Shelton’s biggest home crowd support he will receive all year.
Shelton is one of the best products of American college tennis, with a big game in all aspects.
Serve, forehand, backhand, you name it, he also has a ton of touch for a big man.
Keeping the crowd into it will be Ben’s biggest weapon this week, and his hometown support should come in waves.
Always Consistent - Taylor Fritz
Taylor Fritz is trying to make the 2023 season his.
A rocky start in the first slam did not bode well for the top ten confidence, but he marches on, nonetheless.
Fritz has done well in this tournament in the past, and will more than likely be the favourite heading in.
A tough crowd of players to play against, Fritz will need to keep his all-court game on tap.
Tapping forehands into the corners and making some nice gets at the net, Fritz has a shot at lifting a 250 trophy at the end of this week.
Will he succeed? Time will tell.
