"When I was young, I had very difficult moments in my relationship with tennis. I saw myself making many sacrifices without achieving the expected results. All my college friends were enjoying life, but when I turned 21 and saw them starting to settle into office jobs, I truly became aware of how privileged I was to dedicate myself to tennis. I began to enjoy training, improve, and surround myself with the right people. I realized that tennis was a job, but also something that made me have fun," revealed the American.

Many might think that Tommy Paul has reached his peak by entering the top ten of the ATP ranking, but he doesn't see it that way. "I believe I have a lot more to do. My main goal is to reach the top 5 and win more important tournaments than those I already have in my record. I will never be satisfied; I want more, and my goal is to improve every day to aim for very high levels of success," emphasizes a player obsessed with work ethic and training.

"Everything I do off the court, all the decisions I make in my life, are based on tennis. This sport comes first for me. I work so hard that sometimes, before tournaments start, I get stressed, and my team makes me go fishing one morning to clear my mind. It's something that works very well for me," comments the man advised by Brad Gilbert, striving for a significant outcome in this 2025 Acapulco ATP 500.
