Paul converted his second break-point opportunity in the first set when Moller made a double-fault to hand Paul a 4-2 lead en route to claiming the opening set.
In the second set Moller paid the price for being too aggressive from both sides in trying to produce winners. Paul at the same time showed incredible resilience to chase down almost anything that landed between the lines.
Mollwer also couldn't get his sensational two-handed backhand going and that proved too much to handle for the Dane as Paul seized a break in the second set’s first game and its final game for a 6-3 set win.
Moller finished with no less than 12 double faults and with accurancy also missing in his ground strokes, the third set never became compettitive.
Paul never took his foot off the pedal as he broke Moller twice to take it, 6-1, and cap a solid first-round appearance.
"I think parts of the game worked okay at the beginning, but Paul also played really well, I have to take my hat off to that. Overall, he played much better than me", admitted Moller after the match. The Dane, however, enjoyed the atmosphere in the huge tennis-arena.
"I think it was a pretty cool atmosphere. Sometimes the sounds can be disturbing, and suddenly there was a metro train running, but it wasn't something that affected me negatively. I just think it was cool that there were so many people who created a good atmosphere."
