The American looked on course for an early exit from the tournament after going a set and a break down but pulled himself up by the bootstraps, saving a match point in the second to win in three sets. From 1-4 down in the second set, Paul roared back to take the set in a tiebreaker that stretched to 16 points and proceeded to wrap up the contest with a break of serve in the decider to win 6-7(4), 7-6(7), 6-3 win.

Stinging loss for Alcaraz, who had match point in the 2nd set tie-break. Question - has Jannik Sinner given the rest a decent blueprint against Alcaraz? Paul seemed to copy it. The victory marked the World No. 34's third top-10 victory this year, having already beaten Matteo Berrettini and Alexander Zverev. The 25-year-old's display against the second seed received a lot of praise from tennis fans on social media, a sentiment shared by his colleagues as well. Fellow Americans Coco Gauff, Taylor Fritz, Madison Keys and Jennifer Brady all took to Instagram to react to the post he shared after his Montreal heroics against Alcaraz. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Gauff and Keys commented with fire emojis to hail Paul, while Brady opted for a clapping emoji. Fritz, meanwhile, had a series of emojis that included the Mexican flag -- perhaps a reference to the fact that some of the American's best victories (defeating Zverev in the 2020 edition and Berrettini in the 2022 edition) have come at the Mexican Open in the past.

Tommy Paul takes on Marin Cilic in the third round of the Canadian Open Tommy Paul takes on Marin Cilic in the third round of the Canadian Open Following his victory over Carlos Alcaraz, Tommy Paul will square off against Marin Cilic in the third round of the 2022 Canadian Open. The Croat defeated Karen Khachanov in straight sets in the second round in Montreal to set up a meeting with the American. Cilic has won all two meetings against Paul on the ATP tour previously, including at the Adelaide International earlier this year. A victory against the 13th seed on Thursday would pit the World No. 34 against either Dan Evans or compatriot Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals.
