The Serb has looked dominant against some tough opposition over the last three rounds. The American will be a significant underdog to advance to the men's final, though. Paul's win has set up an opportunity of a lifetime against Novak Djokovic in the semifinal round. The 25-year-old knocked out Shelton and Jenson Brooksby in two of the last three rounds in a portion of the bracket that saw five U.S. Tommy Paul is the last member of that group standing after he defeated Ben Shelton inside Rod Laver Arena. The unexpected success of American men is one of the stories of the Australian Open. Sabalenka, Linette and the other two women's semifinalists all won their quarterfinal matches in two sets. Sabalenka also won in two sets against unseeded Donna Vekic in the last eight. The 30-year-old Pole earned her third straight two-set victory over a seeded player by beating No. 5 seed Aryna Sabalenka will face unseeded first-time semifinalist Magda Linette. 4 seed is a perfect 9-0 in semifinals and finals in Melbourne, and it would be no surprise, if he extended that mark given his incredible form this year.
The nine-time Australian Open champion has never lost a semifinal or final in the tournament. Paul, Shelton and Sebastian Korda all made it to the final eight on the men's side, while Jessica Pegula was a quarterfinalist in the women's bracket.ĭjokovic will be a brutal opponent to play against for Paul. Paul is the lone United States representative left in either singles draw.
