American No. 2 seed Tommy Paul and countryman Marcos Giron both pulled off sweeps on Saturday to advance to the final of the Dallas Open in Texas. Giron upset French fourth seed Adrian Mannarino 6-1, 6-3, while Paul got the best of No. 3 seed Ben Shelton of the United States 6-2, 6-4. Thanks in large part to winning 24 of 28 first-service points, Giron never trailed against Mannarino, who posted five aces against two double faults. Giron racked up twice as many winners as Mannarino in the victory (24-12). Meanwhile, Paul saved all three break points he faced and won 27 of 37 first-service points. He trailed 2-1 in the first set but won the next five games and coasted from there.
