After a quarterfinals showing at Wimbledon in 2024, Tommy Paul looked like he could finally be coming into his own as a player. But his past two trips to the event have ended in disappointment.
Paul was sent packing from Wimbledon earlier than expected Friday, losing to Hubert Hurkacz in four sets (4-6, 7-6, 7-5, 6-2).
It was a sloppy match for Paul, who was charged with six double faults. On top of that, Hurkacz had his serve working well, as he racked up 20 aces in the victory.
It was a disappointing result for the American, who had previously fared well at Wimbledon. Of the four Grand Slam events, Paul’s 71 percent win rate at Wimbledon was second-highest, narrowly edging out his 72 percent win rate at the Australian Open. That gap will only get larger following Paul’s loss Friday.
Though Paul has shown flashes of success, he’s yet to win a single Grand Slam. The closest he’s come is the semifinals, which he reached at the Australian Open in 2023. Paul has three quarterfinal appearances in Grand Slams under his belt, his last of which came at the 2025 French Open.
