American tennis player Tommy Paul is one of the brightest prospects in the sport at the moment. The 24-year-old had an outstanding junior career, with an ITF junior rank as high as third. He has a career high rank of 41 as of January 10, 2022. The American is one of those players that have only just started to make a name for themselves in the world of tennis. His maiden ATP title win came only a few months ago when he displayed impressive skill and resolve to win the 2021 Stockholm Open.
Paul began his professional career in 2015. Paul has shown an unusual preference for clay, having won the Junior French Open and his first four ITF Futures singles titles on the surface. At the 2015 US Open, he qualified for the main draw for the first time, but lost in the first round to Andreas Seppi.
Paul broke into the Top 200 for the first time in March 2016 when he qualified for the Miami Masters. Paul received a wild card into the 2016 US Men’s Clay Court Championships in Houston in April, and in the first round, he defeated 53rd-ranked Paolo Lorenzi for his first career ATP level win. For the remainder of 2016, Paul would primarily compete on the ATP Challenger and ITF circuits.
Paul entered the top 100 for the first time in his career in September 2019, after winning his second ATP Challenger title of the year in New Haven, following his victory in Sarasota earlier in the season.
Paul made his first appearance in the third round of a Grand Slam at the 2020 Australian Open, defeating 18th seed Grigor Dimitrov in the second round before losing to Marton Fucsovics. He also advanced to the second round of singles and the quarterfinals of doubles at the 2020 French Open, partnering fellow American Nicholas Monroe for the first time on his preferred surface.
Tommy Paul is currently being coached by none other than Brad Stine. Brad is a key figure in tennis coaching and well-known in the US for having influenced a number of former US tennis stars. He was primarily well-known for his romance with Jim Courier, a former world number one. In the annals of tennis, Jim and Brad had a remarkable bond that will never be forgotten. Under Brad, Jim attained World No. 1 status and won the French Open twice, the Australia Open twice, as well as some other competitions. Brad was Jim’s final coach until his retirement in 2000, and he did a good enough job. Brad has collaborated with many other well-known figures in addition to Jim.
