Paul beat Italian Lorenzo Sonego 6-4 6-2 5-7 6-2, the 14th seed fending off 11 of 13 break points in front of the diehard fans who stayed late into the night under the lights at Louis Armstrong Stadium. He roared back in the fourth set, however, winning the first two games and breaking Sonego again in the fifth. He will next play Australian Max Purcell.
The 11th seed dominated the first set against unseeded compatriot Caroline Dolehide before her game crumbled in the second and she went on to lose 1-6 7-5 6-4.
