News about Tommy Paul

Early on Tuesday afternoon, the line separating sun from shade sliced right through the heart of Arthur Ashe Stadium. That made tracking the ball a little tricky. But that was only half the problem. Even after the glare had cleared, it remained a challenge to make sense of exactly what was unfolding below. The facts are these: after a tug of war against Alexander Zverev that lasted four and three and a half hours, Taylor Fritz is into a first US Open semifinal. What the scoreline fails to show? All of the chaos and mess as this match veered one way and then the other.

It was American Express day at the US Open on Monday but, by 9pm, by the time Jannik Sinner and Tommy Paul emerged into Arthur Ashe Stadium, it was turning into another night of American Excess. The world No 1 has been pleasantly surprised by the reaction of fans in New York over the past week. They had been rather more forgiving than some of his peers - after Sinner escaped a ban despite failing two drugs test for a banned steroid. In this fourth-round clash, however, Sinner was met by the American No 14 seed and a home crowd determined to squeeze every last drop out of this long Labor Day weekend. 

Alex de Minaur has denied great mate Jordan Thompson in a titanic all-Australian fourth-round US Open showdown to notch another significant milestone in his stellar grand slam season.

Rafael Nadal is defending Jannik Sinner after the world number one tennis star tested positive for a banned substance but avoided punishment, saying the Italian would never have considered doping and he was not judged differently just because he is the top-ranked player. Back in March, Sinner tested positive for the steroid clostebol, which can be used to build muscle mass, but was cleared by a tribunal after they learned his physio applied a spray to a cut on his own hand before carrying out treatments on the Italian. Sinner arrived at the U.S. Open with players making accusations of double standards when he was cleared of wrongdoing where others had been provisionally suspended for similar positive tests, but Nadal said the anti-doping organisations must be trusted.

BEN NAGLE AT FLUSHING MEADOWS: There was a telling moment at the end of the first set, as young Canadian Gabriel Diallo danced back to his chair having just won the tie-break to take an unexpected lead over American 14th seed Tommy Paul. As he crossed paths with his opponent, Diallo pumped his fists and roared up at his coach in the stands. Paul, looking up at him, smirked back as if to say: 'Just wait'.  Fast forward 39 minutes, and parity had quickly been restored. Paul jogged back to his chair, and it was his turn to celebrate. Diallo was back to earth with a bump, a reminder that Grand Slams can humble you very quickly.

Tommy Paul was firing through his second-round matchup at the US Open Thursday but the American ultimately didn't need to rely on his skill to see out the match.  Two-sets up against Australian Max Purcell, the American walked into the third round at Flushing Meadows when his opponent walked off during after just one game of the third set.  The No. 14 seed had clinched the opening set 7-5 before dominating the second with a donut and all it took was winning the first game of the third to steal the victory. 

Paige Lorenze is a fashion and lifestyle influencer, who has spent years cultivating a following of 700,000 people on Instagram.  To sport fans, however, she's better known as the glamorous girlfriend of tennis pro Tommy Paul - who is this week competing in the US Open in New York. The blonde beauty, who was a successful athlete in her early years, splits her time between the Big Apple and a charming home in Connecticut when she isn't with her beau traveling the world on the ATP Tour. 

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY DANIEL MATTHEWS: Taylor Fritz can't remember the exact score. But the broad strokes of the match remain seared on to his mind, more than a decade later: he was around 14, and he lost. 'Pretty routinely,' the American recalls. What he didn't find out until recently? There was more riding on the match than ranking points and a spot in the next round. His opponent that day, Tommy Paul, had made a side bet with rival Frances Tiafoe. 'Him and Frances went on for a match at the exact same time - Tommy to play me, Frances to play someone else,' Fritz explains. 'And they were having a race to see who could win first. It wasn't even a question of if he was going to win or not. It was just who could do it faster.'

Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul may consider themselves 'brothers' but the last pair of siblings who won a medal in doubles at the Olympics were two Americans: Mike and Bob Bryan, back at London 2012.  Regardless, Fritz and Paul defeated Adam Pavlasek and Tomas Machac, of the Czech Republic, in straight sets (6-3 6-4) to earn a spot on the podium alongside compatriots Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajicek, who took home the silver, in Paris.  But, unlike Ram and Krajicek, Paul and Fritz usually play in singles, making their third place finish all but unlikely before the start of the summer.

Sir Andy Murray has revealed plans to renovate his five-star hotel in Scotland after retiring from tennis. The double Wimbledon champion, 37, called time on his sporting career after an emotional send off at the Olympics in Paris last Thursday.

And the tennis legend cut an emotional figure as he waved to fans after he and his Team GB partner Dan Evans were beaten in straight sets by USA duo Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul in the doubles quarter-final. But the father-of-four shows no sign of putting his feet up as he continues to seek out improvements and changes at his Cromlix House venue, which set in acres of secluded Stirlingshire countryside near Dunblane, where he grew up in Scotland.

His glittering career was built on raw talent, a relentless training regime and a strictly controlled diet designed to keep him at the top of his game. So after bowing out of professional tennis after 19 trophy-laden years, Sir Andy Murray had probably earned the right to treat himself to a few unhealthy snacks.

So when his tennis career came to an end on a court of red clay in a half-empty stadium at the edge of the Bois de Boulogne, a light went out.
