Djokovic is, of course, one of the greatest players of all time with 21 Grand Slam championships. If he makes it to the final and wins, he'll tie Rafael Nadal for the record. His play has been exceptional throughout the tournament, no surprise, despite being troubled a bit by a hamstring injury.
Before 2022, he had won the Australian Open three years in a row. Last year, he was barred from playing for not adhering to a vaccination requirement and even deported from Australia. The controversy hasn't hurt his popularity with the crowd this year, though.
Paul is one of a group of young American players who have been rising through the ranks in the past few years, joining Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe. The 25-year-old Paul is the first American man to reach an Australian Open singles semifinal since Andy Roddick in 2009.
Despite being unseeded, Paul has gone from underdog to a real threat. He has defeated to players before, including wins over Rafael Nadal and world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz.
