Tommy Paul advanced to the final of the ATP Delray Beach Open on Saturday with a 6-2, 6-2 triumph over fellow American Frances Tiafoe.
Paul, who won his second career ATP title last week at Dallas, needed only 61 minutes to oust the second seed and book a date in Sunday's final.
Third-seeded Paul will play for the title against either top-seeded defending champion Taylor Fritz or Marcos Giron, who meet later Saturday.
Paul stretched his win streak to seven matches to equal his ATP career best.
Paul, ranked 14th in the world, improved to 3-1 in ATP matches against 15th-ranked Tiafoe, having lost their first matchup at Delray in 2020 but then winning a 2021 Stockholm semifinal on his way to the title and in Auckland in 2022.
FRITZ TO FACE PAUL IN BID FOR BACK-TO-BACK ATP DELRAY BEACH TITLES
Top-seeded defending champion Taylor Fritz ousted fellow American Marcos Giron 7-6 (10/8), 6-2 to reach the final, where he will face compatriot Tommy Paul.
Tennis world No 9 Fritz needed one hour and 48 minutes to book his spot in Sunday's championship match against Paul, who ousted American Frances Tiafoe 6-2, 6-2 in the other semifinal.
Fritz seeks his seventh career ATP title and will try to extend his win streak in ATP finals to six in a row.
After taking his first title at Eastbourne in 2019, Fritz lost his next four finals but since St. Petersburg in 2021 has won titles at Indian Wells, Eastbourne and Tokyo in 2022 and Delray Beach and Atlanta last year.
Paul pulled level at 2-2 in his ATP career rivalry with Fritz with a victory in their most recent meeting at last year's Acapulco semifinals.
Fritz blasted 10 aces past Giron in improving to 4-1 against the world number 52.
