Tommy Paul has produced the biggest clay-court result of his career at the Italian Open. And he’s still going.
The American outlasted ninth-ranked Hubert Hurkacz 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 on Thursday to earn a spot in the semifinals at the Foro Italico, following up from a straight-set victory over defending champion Daniil Medvedev.
Paul broke the big-serving Hurkacz seven times but also dropped his own serve six times.
