It\u2019s a lot of the reason that I play. I absolutely love it, so to miss it, it really sucked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And yet, despite this heartbreak, Paul insists he is now fitter than ever: \u201cThe foot is actually amazing,\u201d says Paul. \u201cThe foot\u2019s never felt better. It\u2019s literally the best it\u2019s felt in five years. I\u2019m pretty pumped about that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went into a boot for a couple weeks after Wimbledon. When you go into a boot, your ankle kind of gets very tight because of the mobility, it\u2019s not mobile at all. It\u2019s just really getting the mobility back and everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m in much pain. I would just say really trying to get the strength around the ankle and around the foot back is what we\u2019re most focused on right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/news\/tommy-paul-explains-what-he-finds-crazy-about-the-atp-tour-currently\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tommy Paul revealed what he finds most \u2018crazy\u2019 about the ATP Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tommy Paul\u2019s best-ever result at the US Open<\/p>\n<p>As touched upon earlier, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/tag\/tommy-paul\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tommy Paul<\/a> had performed admirably at the majors this year before his Wimbledon disaster.<\/p>\n<p>However, for whatever reason, the US Open has historically been his worst-performing Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<p>In the other three, he has reached at least the quarter-finals, having even made the semi-finals of the Australian Open in 2023.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"649\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2169396538-1024x649.jpg\" alt=\"Tommy Paul hits a backhand\" \/>Photo by Fatih Aktas\/Anadolu via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>And yet, last year\u2019s fourth-round run in New York tied his best-ever performance; a feat he will certainly be hoping to surpass this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It felt like Tommy Paul\u2019s season had been slowly building towards a really top result before all his&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89803,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,31554,56,54,55,6545],"class_list":{"0":"post-89802","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-tennis","10":"tag-tommy-paul","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom","14":"tag-us-open"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
