    Ranked No. 35 heading into the Australian Open, 25-year-old American Tommy Paul has reached his first Grand Slam semifinal. Standing in the way of his first Grand Slam final is nine-time Aussie Open champion Novak Djokovic. In the other semifinal match, No. 3 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas faces No. 18 Karen Khachanov.
    
    Tommy Paul will play Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open semifinals on Friday on ESPN.

    Tennis fans in the US will need to stay up late or get up early to watch the matches live. I recommend a disco nap or setting your DVR. Both matches will be shown live on ESPN on Thursday night and in the wee hours of Friday morning. Here’s what you need to know to watch the tennis without cable.
