The adventure of Tommy Paul at Wimbledon 2026 came to an end sooner than expected. The American, seeded number 21, fell in the third round against Hubert Hurkacz in four sets in a match where, as the player himself acknowledged, the Polish player was superior in crucial moments.

However, beyond the result, Paul showed deep frustration in the post-match press conference. The American explained that during the match, he suffered physical issues that significantly affected his performance, especially in his legs.

"I'm pretty angry. I was angry during the match because I felt my legs were very tired. You know, you're playing at Wimbledon, you want to be prepared, so I feel it's quite unacceptable for your legs to fail you, especially so early in a Grand Slam. That's why I was upset," he confessed. The American emphasized that his anger was not only due to the loss but also to the feeling of not being able to compete at full physical capacity in a tournament for which he had meticulously prepared his participation.

"It's been frustrating, we all think we enter the tournament feeling pretty prepared for competition. Suddenly, I reach the third round and my legs start bothering me. This shouldn't happen, I'll do whatever it takes to avoid experiencing these cramps again," he added.

A very flat Grand Slam season

The statements reflect the disappointment of a player who aimed to go much further in the third Grand Slam of the season. Although he acknowledged Hurkacz's merit, Paul left London with the feeling that physical discomfort prevented him from delivering his best performance. Now, the American will focus his efforts on identifying the source of these issues to prevent their recurrence in future important calendar events.

Looking back, it is clear that 2026 has not been the best calendar for Tommy, unable to advance beyond the fourth round in any of the three Slams he has played. There is the answer for anyone wondering why Paul dropped out of the top 20 in the world.
