Sebastian Korda is thrilled to be involved in an all-American final against Tommy Paul at the Delray Beach Open.

Korda beat Flavio Cobolli 7-6 (7-1) 6-1 on Saturday to seal his place in the showpiece match.

It is the first time he has reached an ATP Tour-level final since doing so in Adelaide at the start of 2025.

Paul, meanwhile, battled past compatriot Learner Tien 4-6 6-4 6-3.

"That's where you want to be, especially here in the States," Korda said.

"You want these American finals, and it's definitely going to be an American final, so it's going to be exciting for sure."

Paul had to see off some ferocious play from Tien, who forced the 28-year-old into a 10-minute service hold midway through the deciding set.

Indeed, Paul had to fend off four break points in that game, and another while leading 4-2 and then again at 5-3 to clinch his spot in the Delray Beach final for the second time, having finished as runner-up in 2024.

This marks Paul's first appearance in a final since he won his fourth Tour-level title in Stockholm over a year ago.
