The first set was won by Paul with a dominant score of 6-1 and concluded in just 29 minutes.
This tournament in Rome marks Sinner`s first event back on court after completing a three-month suspension due to an anti-doping rule violation.
The winner of the semifinal clash between Sinner and Paul will advance to the final of the Rome Masters to face Spain`s Carlos Alcaraz.
