As the American’s Cinderella run continues, Tommy Paul and girlfriend Paige Lorenze had a romantic moment behind the scenes at the Australian Open.

The world No. 35 was visibly moved on Wednesday after defeating American up-and-comer Ben Shelton to go to his first grand slam semifinal.

When the 25-year-old was allowed to embrace Lorenze, his mother Jill MacMillan, and even Shelton, cameras hidden in the background caught him celebrating the biggest achievement of his career.

While Lorenze has been in Australia throughout his campaign, MacMillan went there to arrive in time for the quarterfinal. Lorenze has been posting on social media about her trip to Melbourne.

Paige also posted some pictures of her enjoying the beach in Melbourne while topless.
