Houston semi-final between Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe was interrupted by rain.
\n By ATP Staff<\/p>\n

The Fayez Sarofim & Co. U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championship<\/a> semi-final clash between Tommy Paul<\/a> and Frances Tiafoe<\/a> has resumed following a 90-minute rain interruption. <\/p>\n

Paul won the first set 7-5, with Tiafoe leading 4-3 (30\/30) on serve in the second when rain suspended play after one hour and 23 minutes.<\/p>\n

The winner of this clash will play Argentine Roman Andres<\/a> Burruchaga in Sunday’s final. Burruchaga notched a breakthrough semi-final victory earlier on Saturday. With his 6-1, 6-1 win against countryman and good friend Thiago Agustin Tirante<\/a>, the 24-year-old marched into his first ATP Tour final. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very close friends, so it is never easy,\u201d Burruchaga said. \u201cIt was a very tough match, so I am happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tirante reached the last four without dropping serve, highlighted by a quarter-final win against top seed Ben Shelton<\/a>. But Burruchaga disrupted that momentum by applying relentless pressure from the outset, denying Tirante any opportunity to establish rhythm.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old finished having converted five of the eight break points he earned and won 100 per cent (21\/21) of his first-serve points, according to Infosys ATP Stats. With his 61-minute triumph, the Argentine jumped five spots to No. 61 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is going to be my first final tomorrow,\u201d Burruchaga said. \u201cI played really good tennis the entire week, so I am super happy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Houston Houston semi-final between Paul & Tiafoe resumes after rain delay Paul won first set 7-5 April 04,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564861,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-564860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
