That match had it all. Plot twists. Match points saved. 3rd set comeback from a break down. Both players cramped. One threw up. Tommy Paul makes 2nd career final but both and Paul proved they were big time fighters.
Record, SMASHED! 🙌 The moment @TommyPaul1 took out Taylor Fritz in the longest match in Acapulco history to reach his second ATP final. @AbiertoTelcel #AMT2023
That was definitely one of the best matches of the year. No doubt about it. Just wow! Tommy Paul into the final - congratulations!! #Acapulco @atptour @TommyPaul1
Tommy Paul survives a 3h25 battle match against his top 5 BFF Taylor Fritz, 6-3, 6-7(2), 7-6(2) to reach the biggest final of his career in Acapulco. He had MP in the 2nd set, was 1-3 down in the 3rd, finished 2h after 1st MP Fritz will leave the top 5 after 1 week.
Disgusting match. They were tired at the end but prior to that it was straight rubbish. Fritz looked very average all week. Hard to believe this guy is top 5
This match was everything! Two absolute fighters, putting it all out there. What tennis should be like all the time, tbh.
Taylor Fritz has to be the worst top-5 player ever. Good for Tommy Paul though
