While Tommy Paul is busy chasing Grand Slam glory at the U.S. Open, he's also been keeping a close eye on something else: his wife Paige's courtside fashion. And honestly, who can blame him?
Paige Paul, an influencer and founder of the brand Dairy Boy, has been turning heads all week inside the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Her latest look — a chic crop-top ensemble during Tommy's third-round match — sent social media into a frenzy. Tommy's reaction? A simple but emphatic “Woah.”
Paige, clearly feeling the moment, shared a string of smiling emojis on her Instagram story. It's been that kind of week for the couple, with Paige's style becoming as much a talking point as Tommy's performance on the court.
Tommy, the 28-year-old American, advanced to the Round of 16 after a grueling five-set thriller in the third round. He's one of three American men still alive in the draw, alongside Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton. Taylor Fritz, unfortunately, fell in an upset loss on Saturday.
It's been a long drought for American men at Grand Slams — no U.S. male has hoisted a major trophy since Andy Roddick won the U.S. Open in 2003. Paul is hoping to change that, but he faces a monumental challenge in the next round: Carlos Alcaraz.
Alcaraz, who returned from a wrist injury and has looked sharp, will be a tough test. But Paul is counting on the home crowd to give him an edge. “Obviously the crowd at every tournament loves Carlos, but you know, I am American, so hopefully they can get behind me a little bit,” Paul said.
The two will square off on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET in Arthur Ashe Stadium, with a quarterfinal berth on the line. It's a match that could define Paul's tournament — and maybe his career.
Off the court, Paige's presence has been a boost for Tommy. She's been a constant supporter, and her viral moments have added a fun subplot to the tournament. In fact, her style has drawn comparisons to other sports WAGs who've dominated headlines, like Claire Kittle's summer looks.
Paige has also been open about her life as a tennis WAG, including that viral trophy photo that had everyone talking. And she's not afraid to poke fun at the influencer lifestyle, as seen in her reaction to a store's 'No Influencers' sign.
For now, all eyes are on Sunday's clash. Will Tommy Paul ride the wave of support — and his wife's killer outfits — to a statement win? We'll find out soon enough.
