Tommy Paul vs. Marcos Giron prediction

The final should see a baseline slugfest between two strict baseliners. Both Paul and Giron prefer to stay on the baseline for the most part and the final should be no exception.

Giron was particularly impressive in the semifinal, displaying exceptional defense against Mannarino and also stunning the latter with backhand passing shots. However, he might not get the chance to repeat the act in the final, as Paul is unlikely to come to the net often.

Giron has a slightly more powerful backhand that should help him in the marginally faster conditions in Dallas. However, Paul's forehand is more reliable and he also has more experience.

Hence, it should be an absorbing final, but Paul should have enough quality to see him through in the end. Paul thus remains the favorite to win the title.

Pick: Paul to win in three sets.
