MELBOURNE : American Tommy Paul's run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open will take him into the world's top 20 for the first time but the 25-year-old does not want to stop there.His dream run in Melbourne was brought to an emphatic end by a clinical Novak Djokovic on Friday as the Serb moved one win away from a record-extending 10th title.Paul battled back from 5-1 down in the opening set to 5-5 but ultimately did not have the firepower to stop Djokovic who cruised to a 7-5 6-1 6-2 victory on Rod Laver Arena.But his run has given Paul a taste of the latter stages of a Slam which he hopes can become a regular feeling."I mean, great, great two weeks for me.
Obviously got to carry it throughout the whole season. It's about consistency. I don't want to be a one-hit wonder," Paul told reporters."I want to keep moving up the rankings.
It would be nice to end the year top 10. I feel like the way I started year is the right path to do it."Obviously I have a lot of matches to win this year.
Hopefully get some titles, too. I don't want to just lose in semi-finals. I want to have my name on some trophies next year."It was Paul's first meeting with the 21-time Grand Slam champion and it was every bit as tough as he imagined."I mean, walking on the court was cool.
