Paul, Shapovalov, Munar And Ruud Set Dallas Open Semis Showdown
Dallas Open: For the third consecutive match in his Dallas Open title defense, Tommy Paul overcame a fellow American to advance in the semis. After hard-fought three-set victories against Jenson Brooksby and Ethan Quinn in the early rounds, the third seed delivered a strong performance to defeat his close friend Reilly Opelka 7-6(3), 6-2 in Friday’s quarter-finals.
Paul, now boasting a 17-5 record on home soil since the start of 2024, has secured seven wins in Dallas. Competing in his first tournament as a Top 10 player, the World No. 9 has reached his 16th tour-level semi-final (7-8) and his fourth on indoor hard courts. Notably, Paul has won the title in each of his four previous indoor runs to this stage, with triumphs in Stockholm (2021, 2024) and Dallas (2023).
In his head-to-head encounter with the 27-year-old Americans, Paul’s commanding serve allowed him to dictate play against the towering 6-foot-11 Opelka. Paul did not face a break point and won an impressive 83% (34/41) of points on his first serve.
