Tommy Paul secured the victory against Frances Tiafoe with a score of 6-2, 6-2, advancing to the final of the Delray Beach Open. The world No. 14 mercilessly outperformed his compatriot, clinching the all-American clash to reach his 5th ATP final. The 26-year-old displayed immense superiority from the start against an imprecise "Big-Foe."
Paul showcased his best form and took an early lead in the first set by breaking Tiafoe's serve in the opening game. After pulling ahead, Paul displayed strength in his service game, while his opponent was more erratic than usual. With a 3-1 advantage, Paul secured his second break, establishing an almost insurmountable lead over his compatriot.
Paul claimed the set with an impressive 6-2 score, achieving a 75% first-serve percentage, winning 87% of them, and a 60% success rate with the second serve. This was a clear advantage over Tiafoe, who had a 67% first-serve percentage, a 55% success rate, and only a 40% success rate with the second serve.
Paul capitalized on his opportunities in crucial moments, securing both break points in his }favor to take the first set. With the advantage, Paul became more confident from the baseline, while Tiafoe struggled to challenge Paul in return.
Big-Foe initially defended his service game flawlessly, but doubts resurfaced, and Paul claimed two consecutive breaks that proved insurmountable for Tiafoe, who couldn't decipher his opponent's serve. The score favored Paul 6-2 in the second set, marking a stellar performance as he approaches his 5th final on the ATP Tour.
In the final, Paul awaits the winner of the match between the first seed Taylor Fritz and Marcos Giron.
