Tommy Paul after Facing Alcaraz "His ball speed..." - Wimbledon 2024

He's a nice guy--but I doubt he'll ever win a GS!

[@DharaniManohar]

@@shapursasan9019 he don't lack talent but he lacks concentration, patience and self belief. He had a great junior career. It's just he lost the direction and focus for a while after turning pro

[@NanaNanene-rw2wd]

Shame about his girlfriend who is not interested in tennis or his game at all even when he played against Carlitos. The phone seems to be more important to her than anything else.

[@DharaniManohar]

@@NanaNanene-rw2wd I hated it I truly hated it Carlos box was on fire and fist pumping and above all carlos fist pumping on Tommy's face god I was crying. I was like people in Tommy's box are even alive ? Guy lacks confidence to begin with and the box should often cheer him.

[@markmauk8231]

​@@nigelmuss440 I agree. I think Tommy's best is better than Taylor's best. Paul is the better tennis player in my opinion if we talk about potential. Of course success has to match that potential at some point in his carreer to kind of confirm that opinion.

[@pauljohnson6019]

Maybe U.S. Open?

[@stephen1462]

Saw Tommy play a challenger tournament in 2015 when he first turned pro and was immediately impressed with his athleticism. I’ve enjoyed watching his career develop since then and find him the most entertaining American player to watch. He has a lot of variety and great hands to go with his athleticism. The only limit is the serve, he doesn’t win a lot of free points off serve and today it really let him down in the latter sets. I’m hoping for good things on the US Open series.

[@ChristinaHarrell]

It’s amazing to see his development

[@user-ql5hu1nl5d]

Are you a man?

[@leonardallen5522]

One thing Tommy can take away from this loss is how well be neutralized all the tools Carlos has in his tool box in the first set and beginning of the second. If he can figure out a way to maintain that level of aggressive play combined with defense, he will make this a five setter 50/50 match in the future. 8/27 break points is a crazy stat.

[@anilaboutme]

Nice talented guy!

[@willybeama1]

He was playing so well but Alcaraz can just reach a level that is insane. I feel bad for Tommy because you can tell that he is genuinely pissed that he couldn’t find a solution today. Tennis is such a frustrating game to play. This press conference was just brutal and I can understand why players hate them especially when they lose. They should make only the winners do the press conferences because it is a bit cruel to interview someone after a heartbreaking loss.

[@tintintravelers]

such a nice guy

[@shivasuresh5957]

Good QF result for Tommy who is so calm and humble. He's a good guy. He pushed Alcaraz to 4 sets so he should be proud of the effort.

[@dropshot118]

He looks like he could be 20 years old or 40

[@Jalleur14325]

Tommy played crazily good. But alcaraz at his best is insane. I'd like to see another 5 setter Alcaraz Djokovic.

😂this it won't go till 5th set bro. Last year was different but now carlitos will it in 3 sets or 4 at max. not more than that

I am a Carlos fan, but lets not brag about demolishing wins against one of the most dangerous opponents. Daniil is often overlooked. He will have a better serve and better defense. Winners against him are difficult to put in.

[@kirannair7920]

Tommy gifted the second set ..give away his service game in a silly way with two double faults..till then Alcaraz was losing the match..if Tommy played it like how he played first set n put his first service in ,, then it would have been tough for Alcaraz to win

I think Tommy played his best for this type of grass court. Carlos is just in a different level at this point, on this particular surface. Tommy has beaten Carlos before, he knows how to play vs Carlos, but the grass surface made all the difference. I am very happy of the level Tommy displayed vs someone that is just in a different level on grass. Look how Iga lost so bad, it’s the grass, people.

Geeze, men's tennis has some great looking men! Tommy Paul and Matteo Berrettini are total hotboxes!🔥 Matteo is modeling all over Italy. Tommy should be modeling here in the U.S. I can see him being the face of Tommy Hilfiger. OK, enough with my gushing. My knees are too weak to stand. Tommy is the definition of a California surfer. A slacker with more talent than anyone in his little finger. What will it take for Tommy to win a major? Is it coaching? Working harder? Hitting more balls? Studying more? Moving better? Serving better? Maybe all of the above? We know how Sinner and Alcaraz will dominate the game but Tommy, Fritz, and Tiafoe are right there, on the border of breaking through but none of them figured out how to do it yet. U.S. Tennis has very bright minds. What would they say needs to happen to bring Tommy and the other U.S. men over the finish line?
