12th seed Tommy Paul is having a great Wimbledon campaign so far, reaching the second Grand Slam quarter-final of his career. However, the class and sportsmanship he is showing at the All England Club will win him a lot of tennis fans.
The Spaniard had a tough fall in his fourth-round encounter against Roberto Bautista Agut. However, the American was quick to go to the other side of the net and help him up to make sure he was okay.
This moment generated a lot of applause from the fans on Court 2. However, the damage was done as far as Bautista Agut was concerned, as he struggled with his movement after the fall.
Paul will meet defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the last eight of Wimbledon. The Spaniard continued his quest for a fourth Grand Slam title with a four-set win over Ugo Humbert.
Tommy Paul sets quarter-final clash with Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon
American tennis star Tommy Paul reached his second Grand Slam quarter-final by beating unseeded Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut in straight sets, 6-2, 7-6, 6-2. The 12th seed has now won nine consecutive matches on grass, including his title-winning run at Queen’s Club last month.
Moreover, Paul has shown consistency so far in 2024, winning in Dallas and securing semifinal berths in Indian Wells and Rome. His best Grand Slam result is a semifinal finish at the Australian Open last year.
Paul will lock horns with Carlos Alcaraz for a place in the Wimbledon semifinal. The Spaniard continued his quest to defend a Grand Slam for the first time in his career with an entertaining four-set win over Ugo Humbert.
The duo have played each other four times, with their head-to-head record split at 2-2. However, all of those meetings have come on hard courts, and none of them have been in Grand Slams.
