The 2023 ATP event in Houston returns this year with the 52nd edition and a much-improved field headlined by the likes of Tiafoe, Paul, Nakashima and others.
In all fairness the event generally pulls a lot of American players and the field is pretty solid most of the time. Last year we had Fritz, Kyrgios and others but this year we'll see Tiafoe as the top player in the draw. We'll also see the likes of other Americans such as Nakashima and Isner and others.
As the top seed, Tiafoe will have a 1st round bye but he might face Johnson or Bagnis in the second round.
Tommy Paul as the second seed also has a BYE and he'll play a qualifier in the second round.
There are some interesting 1st round matchups as well such as Galan against Zhang, Verdasco and Kubler and then Kovacevic and Brouwer who played well here last year. The winner of that match will take on Isner. Jordan Thompson against
J.J. Wolf is another interesting 1st round matchup with Etcheverry and Cerundolo another one.
