Tommy Paul<\/a> is making his way through the Australian Open<\/a> draw, advancing to the fourth round at Melbourne Park for the third time in four years. But the American is leaving his mark off the court, too.<\/p>\n Paul and fiancee Paige Lorenze recently announced the creation of the Kids Outdoors Foundation<\/a>, which creates opportunities for kids without the financial means to play sports to do so.<\/p>\n \u201cOur goal is to encourage kids to get outdoors and play sports,\u201d Paul told ATPTour.com. \u201cThe more programmes and kids we are able to support the better.\u201d<\/p>\n Paul has been a fixture towards the top of the ATP Tour for years, reaching No. 8 in the PIF ATP Rankings last year. Lorenze is now a content creator, but she used to be a competitive downhill ski racer and now enjoys horseback riding. They want to ensure kids have the same opportunities they have.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s super important, especially for people like me and Paige,\u201d Paul said. \u201cSports have put us in the position that we\u2019re in right now. We need to be giving back and I\u2019m excited to start doing this and really getting it going, especially in South Florida and Eastern North Carolina, where I came from. <\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s not too much tennis really going on there. So anything I can do to really push that forward and bring it back is exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n The Kids Outdoors Foundation will fund pre-existing programmes that give kids access to sports with high financial barriers, like tennis, skiing and horseback riding and also create new opportunities. The goal is to fund nonprofit organisations that are already doing great work for kids in the community to help increase their impact.<\/p>\n You May Also Like: Tommy Paul & Paige Lorenze announce engagement<\/a><\/p>\n Paul did not compete after last year\u2019s US Open<\/a> due to a foot injury. That period away from the court helped the American turn his attention to how he could give back.<\/p>\n \u201cI would say it\u2019s something that I\u2019ve wanted do for a while,\u201d Paul said. \u201cThe break that I had \u2014 the amount of time that I had off \u2014 provided us with the time needed to get it up and running.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\u201cATP\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1767418027_359_atp-no-1-club-banner-article.jpg\")
