Auger-Aliassime belatedly beats Paul to reach Adelaide final

On the eve of the Australian Open, it was a 16th final for the Canadian and puts him one win from a sixth title. Auger-Aliassime plays either second seed Sebastian Korda or Miomir Kecmanovic. The loss kept American Paul from breaking into the top 10 for the first time in his career. The semi-final was marred by more than 90 unforced errors, with Auger-Aliassime failing to close out a straight-sets win when Paul won six of the last seven games in the second set. "I'll try and recover now for the final," the winner said.
