About
Born May 17, 1997, in Voorhees Township, New Jersey, and raised in North Carolina, Tommy Paul turned professional in 2015 after winning the French Open junior title. His breakthrough came with a semifinal run at the 2023 Australian Open and his first ATP title in Stockholm that year. Paul reached a career-high No. 8 in June 2025, won four more titles including his first clay crown at the 2026 Houston Open, and as of April 2026 holds the No. 18 ATP ranking with strong recent form on clay, saving three championship points in Houston final before Madrid.
Recent form
In the news
“"Winning on clay feels amazing, especially saving those three championship points, shows the fight in our team."”
Playing style
Paul is a versatile baseline aggressor with a strong attacking forehand, solid backhand, and excellent movement that suits all surfaces, particularly clay where his junior success originated. His tactical variety, net approaches, and kick second serve make him dangerous, blending power with precision and speed to outmaneuver opponents from defense to offense effectively.
