Molleker brushed aside Paul 6-0, 6-1 in Prague, with the result built on relentless returning and a dominant first serve. He converted six break points and won 77% of points behind his first delivery.
Molleker broke in the first, third and fifth games of the opening set to wrap it up 6-0. The second set followed the same script with breaks to 1-0, 3-0 and 5-0; Paul then took his only game by breaking at 1-5, only for Molleker to break straight back and seal the match 6-1.
The defining stat was Molleker's 11-game winning streak from the start, covering the whole first set and the first five games of the second. Paul, by contrast, won just one game all match, saving three of the nine break points he faced.
