Read along to know more about the players, match information, predictions, odds, storylines, and how to watch this clash. If you live in the US, you can stream the game live on FuboTV (free trial).
Shelton may be the story of the championship so far for how inexperienced he is. Although he hasnât participated in a lot of competitions at the ATP level, the American is taking advantage of this opportunity. He had to fight for five sets to beat another player from the United States like J.J. Wolf in the fourth round. The 6-7 (5); 6-2; 6-7 (4); 7-6 (4); 6-2 win sent him to the top eight.
Paul is also one of the appearances by surpassing the projections. He has a better ranking being the 35th, but still was a valuable accomplishment getting to the quarterfinals. His matchups were also tough including his last game against the Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut in a fought game. Defeating him 6-2: 4-6; 6-2; 7-5 shows he can be a hard rival for most.

Ben Shelton vs Tommy Paul: Storylines and Head-to-Head
The Americans have been a storyline in the menâs draw of the Australian Open taking over Melbourne. Probably the biggest win in the championship was Mackenzie McDonaldâs over Rafael Nadal, but it wasnât the only one. Another unexpected triumph was Jenson Brooksby eliminating the number 2 seed Casper Ruud.
These players donât have that type of win in their journey so far, although it was a great merit. With Sebastian Korda losing against Karen Khachanov, the possibilities of an American in the semifinals werenât done because of this match. They havenât played each other yet, though it will be a meaningful one with the winner facing Novak Djokovic or Andrei Rublev.
