Paul: "I feel bad because I didn't want it to end like this, but I'm already in the third round"

Tommy Paul will be in the third round of the US Open after Max Purcell was forced to retire from the match. It is never easy to compete against a player who is struggling with physical issues, as described by the American: "It's very strange when you're in that situation because you try not to think. You see the other side of the court suffering and you try not to think: 'When will he stop playing? When will he quit?' Because as soon as you start having those thoughts, you lose concentration. I feel bad, I don't want it to end like this, but I'm happy to move on to the next round, whatever the case."

This is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Paul: "Me siento mal porque no quería que terminara así, pero ya estoy en tercera ronda"
