Dallas (US), Feb 11 (IANS Americ's Tommy Paul defeated compatriot Ben Shelton to reach the Dallas Open final. The second seed earned eight break points and converted three of them to oust the big-serving lefty 6-2, 6-4 in 79 minutes.

The No. 15 and No. 16 players in the ATP Rankings have battled in important ATP Head-to-Head matches in the past year, including last year’s Australian Open quarter-finals and the US Open fourth round. After Shelton won their past two meetings, Paul earned his revenge on Saturday night.
