Paul, who reached the semi-finals in the Australian Open in January, is trying to capture his second career title after Stockholm in 2021. Fritz accomplished the feat in 2020, and Sam Querrey won the tournament in 2017. On Friday, Paul needs nearly 3 1/2 hours to beat the third-seeded Fritz in the semi-final round and became the third American to reach the final in Acapulco. The Americans faced each other for the first time - when Fritz was 13 and Paul was 14 - at the 2011 USTA Boys’ 14s National Championships in San Antonio, Texas. The pair of 25-year-olds have squared off since they were teenagers. Acapulco: Tommy Paul defeated fellow American and long-time rival Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-7 (2), 7-6 (2) in a three-hour marathon match Friday night and secured a spot in the Mexican Open final.
