TOKYO — Ben Shelton reached his second career tour semifinal by beating 12th-ranked Tommy Paul 7-6 , 6-3 at the Japan Open on Friday.
“It was definitely a difficult challenge, as it is whenever you play against a guy as talented and as tough as Tommy Paul,” the 19th-ranked Shelton said. “To be able to get through that with a win, it took a lot of mental toughness. I had to stay calm in the first set, serving for the set and then getting broken and having to finish it in the tiebreaker. It was a difficult task but I’m happy to be moving on.
Diana Shnaider ended local favorite Nao Hibino’s run with a 6-0, 7-5 victory to clinch a semifinal berth against the 29th-ranked Bouzkova.
