Tommy Paul vs Taylor Fritz prediction

Tommy Paul advanced to the last four at the Lyon Open after overcoming Corentin Moutet in three sets. There were nine breaks of serve throughout the match, with Paul winning 6-4 3-6 6-3. He is one match away from a fifth final of the season.

His next opponent is compatriot Taylor Fritz. The former world number four continued his progress at the event with a straight sets win over Daniel Altmaier. Fritz edged clear after winning a tight first set tiebreak, before racing ahead in the second to win 7-6 (5) 6-2. He is now through to his 44th career tour-level semi-final.

The head-to-head is tied at 3-3 and 1-1 indoors. Paul won their last encounter, at the quarter-final stage of the Delray Beach Open earlier this year. Fritz has been the more impressive performer so far this week, having not dropped a set, and I expect him to get the job done here.
