Tommy Paul (born 17 May 1997 in Voorhees Township, New Jersey) is an American tennis player. Paul won the 2015 French Open boys' singles title by defeating fellow American Taylor Fritz in the final in three sets. He also reached the boy's singles final at the 2015 US Open, this time losing to Fritz in three sets.
Tommy Paul has always been one of the highest ranked juniors of his class. Paul reached a career high ITF junior rank of No. 3 on December 9, 2015.
Cited as one of North Carolina Tennis' greatest rivalries, Paul played Will Baird a total of 14 times (Paul holding a 10-4 record) throughout their junior careers. In those matches, 4 took place in Quarterfinal rounds, 5 in Semifinal rounds, and 2 in Finals. Ten of their 14 matches ended in third sets.
Paul reached two junior grand slam finals in 2015, winning against Taylor Fritz at the French Open, and losing to him at the U.S. Open.
Paul turned pro in 2015. He has a career high ATP singles ranking of 191 achieved on 11 April 2016. Unusually for an American, Paul has shown a preference for playing on clay, having won the Junior French Open and having won his first four ITF Futures singles titles on clay. He qualified for the main draw of a Grand Slam for the first time at the 2015 US Open, losing to Andreas Seppi in the first round 4–6, 0–6, 5–7.
In March 2016, Paul cracked the Top 200 for the first time by qualifying for the Miami Masters. In April, Paul was awarded a wild card into the 2016 U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships at Houston, and defeated 53rd-ranked Paolo Lorenzi in the 1st round for his first career ATP level win.
