Tommy Paul has just reached his first slam final at the Australian Open after defeating fellow American player Ben Shelton 7-66 6-3 5-7 6-4. Tommy was understandably emotional after winning the quarterfinal. He also thanked his mother and girlfriend for being in his box. Paul revealed that his mother took a flight straight away from the US to Melbourne only to see him play in the quarterfinals, and he was very grateful for that.
During his speech, he also addressed his stunning girlfriend Paige Lorenze.
