Kamil Majchrzak faces Tommy Paul in the Washington ATP 1/16-finals on 27 July, with the match played on hard courts over best of three sets.
The old meeting record is level, but the wider picture gives Paul the clearer case. His hard-court return numbers, higher ranking position and shorter market price all suggest Majchrzak needs another strong serving day to keep this close.Majchrzak and Paul have split their two previous meetings, both on hard courts, so the rivalry does not give either man a clean lead. Majchrzak won the most recent match 2-0 in the Atlanta ATP qualifying final on 21 July 2019, while Paul won their earlier meeting in Charlottesville in 2018 by the same score. That keeps the past results useful, but not decisive.

Paul's hard-court season record stands at 14 wins and 7 losses, compared with Majchrzak's 7 wins and 8 losses. The bigger gap is in how points turn into pressure: Paul has held 89% of service games and won 22% on return, while Majchrzak is at 80% and 15%. That gives Paul more ways to control a best-of-three match.
Majchrzak has won seven of his last 10 matches and reached the final in Hertogenbosch, with wins over Alex de Minaur and Daniil Medvedev listed in that run. Paul is 6-4 across his recent matches, but his service games won rate is a touch higher at 89%, and his 70% first-set win rate matters because the first set prices also lean his way. Majchrzak is not out of this. He has enough recent wins to ask questions.
Bookmakers price Paul at 1.3 against Majchrzak at 3.5, with first-set prices of 1.36 and 3.2. That view fits the hard-court numbers, though Majchrzak's recent record stops this from looking like a simple mismatch.

The main difference is Paul's ability to create more return pressure without losing much on serve. Majchrzak has been serving well recently, averaging seven aces per match and holding 87% of service games, so Paul may need patience rather than a quick breakaway. Workload does not split them much, with both close to 11 hours across the last five matches and no back-to-back flag.
Prediction
Tommy Paul
Kamil Majchrzak
The data points towards Paul, mainly because his hard-court season profile is stronger and the market gives him clear favourite status. Majchrzak's recent form and level rivalry record add some caution, but Paul's return edge and first-set strength make him the more likely winner.
