Tommy Paul is living the dream as he sets his sights on his first grand slam semi-final appearance after extending his surprise run deep into the Australian Open.
With his mum fresh off the plane - and sitting alongside his Insta-famous girlfriend Paige Lorenze at Rod Laver Arena - the 35th-ranked Paul outclassed unseeded countryman Ben Shelton in Wednesday's quarter-final.
Paul prevailed in a tight first set and steadied after dropping the third to win 7-6 (8-6) 6-3 5-7 6-4.
