The Words of Tommy Paul

Tommy Paul spoke at a press conference after beating Diallo deserving of the Us Open round of 16 against Jannik Sinner: "The board on the other side is è open, with the exits of Alcaraz and Djokovic. But my half; just no. I play against No. 1 and it will be tough as hell, but I'm excited about it, with the great chance to play on the'Arthur Ashe".

"When we last played against each other in Toronto in 2023 she played so well that she took the racket out of my hands…. I will tryè to get him in trouble somehow, but it wonè t be easy. Jannik è the best hitter on the circuit, if you get into matches from the back with him, you won’t get out. I will have toè try to come up with something different".

“The match with Diallo è was strange, for us on the court and I assume also for those watching. Lots of ups and downs, and none of us felt really confident and comfortable in the exchange. We responded well but could certainly have served better. Anyway, I’m glad we brought it home. I’ll have to try to practice well on the day off and improve my footwork", he concluded on Saturday night’s win.
