Paul wasn’t broken in the match as he saved both the break points that he saved. He held eight break points in the match and converted one of them in the first set.
Following a first-ever semifinal finish at a Masters 1000 tournament in Toronto last week, Paul reached a career-high ranking of no. 13 on Monday.
He has been very consistent this season and that has payed a huge part in his climb up the rankings this year. Paul had also reached a first major semifinal in Melbourne this year and has featured in two finals in Acapulco and Eastbourne, losing both of them.
He has never gone past the second round in Cincinnati. Can he do that in his fifth attempt?
