Tommy Paul revealed his tennis goals earlier this year

Tommy Paul had a conversation with Tennis.com at the 2025 Acapulco ATP 500 last month, where he was asked about his journey in tennis.

"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," Tommy Paul said.

"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."

Opening up about his goals in tennis, Paul said:

"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."

Paul has won four ATP Tour titles; one in 2021 and three in 2024.
