Tommy Paul Blasts Into Australian Open Quarters In 87 Minutes

Tommy Paul dropped just three games to surge into his third Grand Slam quarter-final with a thumping of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at the Australian Open on Sunday. The American 12th seed was simply too good for the 66th-ranked Spaniard on a scorching hot Melbourne day, cruising home 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 on Margaret Court Arena. The 27-year-old will meet either German second seed Alexander Zverev or French 14th seed Ugo Humbert for a place in the last four. The opening Grand Slam of the year has been by far Paul's most successful during his career, with a 15-5 win-loss record in his six tournaments.

That probably had its toll on the young Indian but he got into top gear when it mattered the most. The game was almost looking lost when Gukesh found moves that left Giri with some difficult choices and the Dutchman found all but the final winning move.
