Moreover, the Italian world No.1 fell behind 4-1 after the first 20 minutes before returning to the match.
“Obviously, I do believe that I can play a couple of better points at times…but he’s a tough opponent,” Sinner said of No.14 seed Paul.
“You have to accept he’s moving well; he can mix up the game. So I’m happy about the win,” he added.
The 23-year-old moves on to a quarterfinal matchup against 2021 champion Daniil Medvedev, a 6-0, 6-1, 6-3 winner over Nuno Borges.

Furthermore, the women’s world No.1 has yet to drop a set in the tournament and has yielded only four points on her first serve.
“At the beginning, it wasn’t easy to get the rhythm, especially because we kind of put our focus more on recovery than actually, you know, practicing before the Slams,” Swiatek said.
“I, for sure, am feeling better every day,” she added.
Swiatek will next face Jessica Pegula, whom she defeated in the 2022 US Open quarterfinals.
“It’s going to be a challenge (against Pegula),” Swiatek said.

“To follow in Andy’s footsteps and make the quarterfinals here since he did it in 2016, it’s a big achievement for me,” Draper said.
“Shout out to him (Murray). What an unbelievable career the guy has had,” he added.
