The quarter-final match of Canadian Open 2023 between Carlos Alcaraz and Tommy Paul will take place on August 12.
Carlos Alcaraz has showcased an ability to secure wins even when not at his best, a trend evident this week at the Toronto Masters, where he achieved this twice in consecutive matches. He faced a tiebreaker against Ben Shelton in the opener and rallied from a set and a break down against Hubert Hurkacz in the round of 16. In late 2022, he suffered uncommonly disappointing losses, including one to his upcoming opponent, Tommy Paul, who ended his Canada Masters journey. However, he rebounded impressively, defeating seven American opponents, including Paul, at the Miami Masters this year. Despite a nearly impeccable quarterfinal record of 6-2 in Masters events, he experienced setbacks in Cincinnati and Paris during the latter part of 2022.
Tommy Paul displayed a resurgence in form by securing a comfortable win over compatriot Marcos Giron, a rival who had consistently challenged him in the past. However, earlier this week, he struggled and dropped a set with wavering determination in matches against Diego Schwartzman and Francisco Cerundolo. The semifinalist from the 2023 Australian Open faced disappointments in his two previous quarterfinal appearances in Masters events. Despite a strong beginning, he lost to Dan Evans at the Canada Masters last year and encountered a comprehensive defeat from Stefanos Tsitsipas in Paris a couple of months later.
