Tommy Paul

Paul married Paige Lorenze in July 2026. The couple began their relationship in 2022 and announced their engagement in July 2025.

Paul's listed residence is Boca Raton, Florida. His mother, Jill MacMillan, is an audiologist and played college tennis at East Carolina University. When he returns home, Paul helps his mother and stepfather on their farm in South Jersey, which includes chickens, sheep, dogs, a horse and a cat.

Paul was introduced to tennis by his parents in Greenville, North Carolina, and began playing on clay courts at age seven. He reached a career-high ITF junior ranking of world No. 3.

In 2015, Paul won the French Open boys' singles title by defeating fellow American Taylor Fritz in the final. He also reached the boys' doubles final in Paris with William Blumberg and finished his junior career as the runner-up in singles at the US Open.

Paul turned professional in 2015 and made his first major main-draw appearance at that year's US Open. In 2016, he entered the top 200 for the first time after qualifying for the Miami Masters and earned his first ATP-level match victory by defeating Paolo Lorenzi in Houston.

He reached his first ATP quarterfinal in Atlanta in 2017 and followed it with his first ATP 500 quarterfinal in Washington, where he defeated Lucas Pouille. Paul broke into the top 100 in 2019 after winning the New Haven Challenger, then added another Challenger title in Tiburon.

Paul entered the top 50 in 2021 after reaching the second round of the French Open. Later that year, he won his first ATP Tour title at the Stockholm Open, defeating Taylor Fritz, Andy Murray and Frances Tiafoe before beating Denis Shapovalov in the final.

Paul reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time at Wimbledon in 2022. His run included a third-round victory over Jiří Veselý before he lost to Cameron Norrie.

Later that year, Paul defeated Rafael Nadal in the second round of the 2022 Paris Masters after recovering from a set and a break down. He went on to reach the quarterfinals and ended the season ranked world No. 33.

Paul reached his first Grand Slam semifinal at the 2023 Australian Open. He defeated Jan-Lennard Struff, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Jenson Brooksby and Roberto Bautista Agut before beating Ben Shelton in the quarterfinals.

The result made Paul the first American man to reach the Australian Open singles semifinals since Andy Roddick in 2009. He lost to Novak Djokovic in the last four, but the run lifted him into the world's top 20.

Paul also reached the final of the 2023 Mexican Open, where his semifinal victory over Taylor Fritz came in the longest match in the tournament's 30-year history. He lost the final to Alex de Minaur.

In 2024, Paul won the Dallas Open for his second ATP singles title and reached the semifinals of the Indian Wells Open and Italian Open. At the Queen's Club Championships, he defeated Lorenzo Musetti in the final to win his first ATP 500 title. The result made him the top-ranked American men's singles player and matched his career-high ranking of world No. 12 at that time.

Paul and Taylor Fritz won the men's doubles bronze medal for the United States at the 2024 Paris Olympics. They defeated Tomáš Macháč and Adam Pavlásek in the bronze-medal match.

Paul reached the quarterfinals of the 2025 Australian Open and later advanced to the quarterfinals of the French Open for the first time. His Roland Garros run made him one of two American men, alongside Frances Tiafoe, to reach that stage in 22 years.

After the 2025 French Open, Paul reached a career-high singles ranking of world No. 8. The achievement completed a notable Grand Slam surface progression, with Paul having reached at least the quarterfinals on grass, hard court and clay.

Paul is known for an attacking forehand, strong baseline footwork and speed when moving forward to the net. Those qualities have contributed to his success on clay, a surface he favored from his junior career onward.

He has been coached by Brad Stine since 2020. Between points, Paul is also known for spinning his racket on his fingers and flipping it into the air.
