"Daddy is so nervous" - Tommy Paul's girlfriend Paige Lorenze discloses hilarious incident as American beats Carlos Alcaraz at Canadian Open

Tommy Paul’s girlfriend Paige Lorenze divulged a hilarious incident with her family after Paul defeated Carlos Alcaraz at the 2023 Canadian Open.

World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz took on World No. 14 Tommy Paul in the quarterfinals of the Canadian Open in Toronto on Friday. The Spaniard, who reached the final eight after hard-earned victories over Ben Shelton and Hubert Hurkacz, looked out of sorts in the match against Paul.

The unforced error count off Alcaraz’s racket was unusually high, and the 20-year-old also gifted his opponent six double faults.

Paul took advantage of Alcaraz's below-par display and ran up a two-break advantage to clinch the opener. But Alcaraz profited from the crowd support in the second set as he leveled things up to force a decider.

The American’s consistency, however, proved too much to handle for the recently crowned Wimbledon champion as Paul earned a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 win.

Paul’s girlfriend Paige Lorenze, who was in the stands, was ecstatic about the 26-year-old’s triumph.

“So f*cking proud of you @tommypaul,” she wrote on social media to express her happiness.

Lorenze, a model and a social media influencer, also revealed a hilarious incident with her family during the match. She said her father was nervously mowing their lawn in the dark due to his anxiety over the outcome of Paul's match.

“Daddy is so nervous he is out mowing the lawn and it’s almost dark out,” her message read.

“My dad during Tommy’s matches:” Paige Lorenze hilariously added.
